OPEN ADOPTION

We have very comfortable open adoptions with our children’s birth families and look forward to again making an adoption arrangement that works for everyone involved. While all of our adoptions are open, they are all very different in order to meet the needs of each family.

We are extremely blessed to live close to Ava’s family. In addition to texts and phone calls, Ava loves to visit and have family outings with them. Some of our favorite outings have become traditions that we look forward to every year.

Elsha’s family lives internationally. We communicate mostly through email because of the distance and look forward to their visit once a year. We have loved learning about their culture and traditions and are grateful that they can be in Elsha’s life to share that with her.

Because Stafford’s birth family lives a lengthy distance we don’t see them as often. We keep in touch through texting and video calls. Stafford loves showing his birth dad his tricks through video calls, walking through the nearby farm with his birthmom, and playing trucks with his Grandma.

We are a multi-cultural, multi-racial family. We love learning about and celebrating our children’s cultures through books, songs, videos, and talking with their birth families.

Thanks for stopping in and getting to know us. We hope the things we have written have helped you to understand who we are as a family. We know the Lord with guide you as you decide what is right for you and your child.
