“I was asked what motivates me and I said my parents because I was adopted through Adoptions From The Heart when I was a baby. I am forever grateful and blessed. I was able to live a better life and have many opportunities, so I am motivated to show my parents who I can be and who they allowed me to be.” #AdoptionIsLove- Kate, adoptee
“One of our birth mothers and I had the same name picked out for our son before we even met.”#AdoptionIsLove -Holly, adoptive mom
“Our daughter was 22 months old when I first met her. I was warned she was scared & cautious of everyone, and to expect her to be non-responsive. but the second she saw me she beamed a big smile. Her biological grandmother said, ‘she knows you’re her mother.'” #AdoptionIsLove -Cheryl, adoptive mom
“The moment I held my daughter Catherine from China, and I knew she would never have to live in that orphanage again, she was with her mother and the bond is like no other.” #AdoptionIsLove -Sue, adoptive mom

“Adoption is……..Love. Sacrifice. Family. Joy. Heartbreak. Life. As a birth mother, I placed my son when I was 15. He is now, a father himself. He is amazing. He is talented. His mom and dad, I am forever grateful for. He is strong, and amazing like they raised him. They love him as much as I do, and they were able to give him everything that I could not. I was blessed to have an open adoption, well as open as it could be for us, with my issues. I am even more blessed to have them ALL In my life, today.” #AdoptionIsLove – Sabrina, birth mom
