Do you still feel that adoption was the best decision for you?

“I’ve grown from the experience. Yes, at times I feel empty and struggle a little. But in all I’ve realized how strong I truly am. I put myself to the side and did what was best for my children.

He will have things that I could not provide and a family somewhere will now know the love of parenting.”  –Maggie

“Doing this is very selfless. Not only are you bringing a blessing to a family, but you are choosing to put yourself and your feelings to the side and putting your child first. It is not an easy choice to make or deal with but it is the best choice. And in the end you will be so proud of your strength and your decision.”  –Eva
