Adoptions From the Heart

After 17 years of marriage our dreams finally came true and were able to take our newborn home directly from the hospital. Our adoption was the second child placed by AFTH in 1985. The first child to be placed was to friend’s and theirs was an open adoption. Ours was closed.
Two years ago AFTH advised us a communication request had been made. I gave the phone number of her birthmother to my daughter to allow her to make the decision. She called and was excited to find she had brothers and sisters.
My daughter will be 30 in December and last Friday we met with the birth mother for the first time. It was emotional. She explained we were chosen because our picture and profile sounded like we’d be the best parents to raise her child. She was right. We were financially set and ready to bring a child into our lives. She was loved from the minute we saw her and we are blessed to have her in our lives.
And today, with the information from the birth mother, we are working with AFTH to bring together my daughter with a brother who was also placed by AFTH and born in 1988.
