November is Adoption Awareness Month and we want to highlight the incredible families eagerly waiting to welcome a new family member into their home. We believe every life deserves love and we want to commend these families who are waiting to open up their hearts.
 
 
 
Adoption Awareness Month
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Meet Kristy & Adam, a couple from Southern Illinois who are in the process of getting matched with a birth family.
 
“Our adoption journey has been a long one and we are continuing to trust and hope that one day, we will become parents,” said Kristy. “Adoption has always been on our hearts even before we realized it could be our only option at having a family. We started this adoption process in 2017 and have experienced being nearly selected by birth parents twice, which came with a lot of emotions. We know this can be a really difficult decision for birth moms and we are aware of what a great act of love it is for a parent to make this choice.”
