Why Adoption?

Coming from very close-knit families, having a family of our own is very important to us. We have benefited so much in our lives and we’re eager to share and grow that with a child. As a samesex couple, adoption makes the most sense for us to be able to accomplish that. We understand that through adoption we’re being entrusted with what may be most precious to you. We will always strive to be worthy of that trust and great generosity.
