Our journey of becoming a family began back in July 2002 after we got married. We started trying for a family right away....we prayed for a large family right away too. After about a year, we felt something asn't right. We went to see doctor after doctor after doctor. Nothing was wrong with us. No rhyme or reason for not getting pg. We continued on with our lives and prayed that God would someday bless us with a child.
We knew no matter how God brought a child into our lives it was meant to be and would be loved unconditionally. We tried a few more new treatments with no luck and after months of trying to move forward and let our hearts heal, God led us to an amazing agency in Georgia called An Open Door. We needed to put together a Life Book and a Dear Birthmother letter. The life book was much, much easier to do than the birthmother letter. Ugh! That was so hard to write. How do you possibly put into words how much you were going to love their child and how much we long to be parents?!?!
When we were chosen it was the most amazing feeling. It took our breath away when we were sent the first photo of a baby boy. We couldn't believe how much love we had in our hearts for a child that was over 1,000 miles away.
An Open Door, our Social Worker and foster parents of our son were beyond AMAZING. I know that God knew we needed these people in our lives and to help us every step of the way. An Open Door and our Social Worker were always willing to answer questions (I had tons of course) and were always just a phone call away. We can't say enough about how great of an experience we had. Adoption is the most phenomenal way of becoming a family. We tell everyone what agency we used and always share the website to couples who are looking to adoption. We are truly blessed in life and are going to be adopting again thru An Open Door in the spring of 2011.

In December 2009, we adopted a beautiful baby girl through An Open Door. In the almost three months since that time, my husband and I have been busy, not only loving our sweet baby, but also singing An Open Door's praises. With all the random "horror stories" one seems to hear about adoption, I have to say that the process for us was smooth as silk. An Open Door held our hands every step of the way. There were no financial surprises whatsoever. All our questions were answered in a timely, professional, and thorough manner. And our hearts were warmed by the care and concern that the caseworker gave (and still gives) to our daughter's birthmother. We couldn't be happier with An Open Door and with our adoption experience.

Our 3rd child, Ella, an African American infant, joined our family through An Open Door, and we could not imagine having a better experience. While we were fortunate to have had great experiences with the agencies we worked with in the previous adoptions, our relationship with An Open Door was truly exceptional! We believe that our faith not only being accepted, but actually required, opened our hearts even more to the amazing Grace that guided, and continues to nurture, the creation of our family.

Thank you An Open Door Adoption agency for bringing together our family at last. We had been though six long years of infertility and trying to adopt before we got to An Open Door. During the adoption process all of the open door case managers were compassionate and understanding of how difficult it was to be an awaiting adoptive parent. They always communicated with you during every step of the process and treated you like they would like to be treated. They never left a stone unturned in matching the right birthmother with the right adoptive parents. We are grateful to God for the people with An Open Door Adoption agency for matching us up with our beautiful baby boy.
