ONE
FAMILY'S STORY
July 2001
"Over the past five years, many people have asked us if it is truly possible
to love your adopted child as much as you do your biological one. For us, the
answer has always been ABSOLUTELY YES!
After struggling with infertility for seven years, my husband and I abandoned
the idea of having a child on our own. We decided adoption was the way to fulfill
our dreams of becoming parents. On Valentine's Day our son was born. He was placed
with us three days later. Two months later, I discovered I was six weeks pregnant.
Needless to say, we were overjoyed by this news.
That November, our son had an ADORABLE baby sister with whom to share his life.
Because we want to have a large family and since we have again been unable to
conceive, we once again looked to adoption. This past February (our lucky month)
we were blessed with the placement of our third child, a BEAUTIFUL baby boy.
To those who have the same question, let me simply answer you by saying this;
when a child is placed in your arms for the first time, I can assure you that
the feelings of excitement, wonder, and yes, love, are exactly the same! For
us, we believe that every child in this world finds its family. We are so very
blessed that ours found us."
