Adoptive parentsWe’ve gathered some of our favorite quotes from all around the internet about why people choose adoption. It’s always wonderful to read when we need some inspiration!

Actress and adoptive parent, Connie Britton: “Adoption is a “‘wonderful and life-changing experience.'”

Birthmother, Michelle T: “I do not grieve the loss as much as I celebrate the life of my son. That is a very healing thing.”

Birthmother, Janelle:”I remember, most of all, the unsurpassable amount of love that I felt for my son – a love I still feel – that led me to choose adoption.”

Adoptive parent, Jillian Lauren: “I love it for the way its struggles have defined my life and made me strong. I love it for the fascinating, crazy quilt of a family it has stitched together for me.”

Author and adoptee, Karen Fowler: “My life has been shaped by the decision two people made over 24 years ago. They decided to adopt a child. They got me, and I got a chance at the kind of life all children deserve.”

Author and adoptee, DaShanne Stokes: “Adoption isn’t just a childhood experience, it’s a life-long experience.”

Feeling uncertain? I'm here to walk beside you on this amazing family-building journey.
