Adoption can be a stressful and uncertain journey, filled with doubt and sudden bumps in the road along the way.

For fourteen-year old Ke’onte Cook from Plano, Texas, the journey to find his adoptive parents, Carol and Scott Cook, wouldn’t have been possible without WFAA-TV anchor Gloria Campos. Gloria shared Ke’onte’s story twice, the first time in 2007 and the second time in 2009, on her news station, as a part of their “Wednesday’s Child” segment.

We’re so happy Ke’onte found his forever family!

As a social worker who helped women with unexpected pregnancies, I saw that adoptions needed more heart and connection! I created Adoption & Beyond to create genuine connections between birth and adoptive families. Then life threw me the most beautiful plot twist – I became an adoptive mom myself! Talk about on-the-job training! For over 30 years, I've guided families through adoption with transparency, education, and ongoing support long after the "welcome home" balloons are gone. Feeling uncertain? I'm here to walk beside you on this amazing family-building journey.
