Your Child Will Be the Centerpiece: Adoptive parents devote their energy and love to making their child’s life extraordinary. Many families have overcome fertility struggles and deeply cherish the opportunity to be parents.
-
Pursue Any Dream: Adoption gives children financial security and encouragement to follow their dreams—whether they aspire to be a doctor, lawyer, business owner, Broadway actor, CEO, or anything else.
