I feel it is necessary that every child is protected and respected.

Adoption is scary and amazing, it's hard but rewarding, it's looking at your children being children and knowing you've made a difference. Every child matters, every child should be given the chance.

Myself and my husband are parents to two wonderful girls, who came to us through adoption. They make us so happy. All children deserve a loving home.
