What People Say

"Lucca has such a fun personality and loves to make everyone around him laugh... He runs, talks, dances, and plays with his sister. We can’t imagine life without our two little blessings. Gift of Adoption helped make both possible, and we are forever grateful for the financial help we received."

Emily & Joshua of Paducah, Kentucky, Adopted Lucca in 2019

"We have witnessed so much in the last year of Ginny’s life. She is absolutely thriving. When we picked her up she was saying around 10 words consistently. She is now saying so much we can’t keep up. She is enjoying going to kindergarten every day and learning lots of new things. The gift of adoption is unending joy. Joy through every little thing that we get to celebrate with our daughter. Joy through her overcoming things that people said she would never overcome. Joy through seeing her thriving. Joy through being able to love her forever."

Jada & Jake of Loxley, Alabama, Adopted Ginny in 2019

"The gift of adoption is life-changing, life-giving. It’s not just one gift, but a gift that keeps on giving. Veselin is such a joy and such a special boy. The atmosphere changes when he is in a crowd. He brings a smile to everyone he meets. He is loved and he is love."

Rachael of Idaho Falls, Idaho, Adopted Veselin in 2019

"Adeline is so precious. She cares so much about all that she meets. If someone is sad, she is sad with them. If some are happy, she is happy too! She loves to empathize. We are so blessed through what Gift of Adoption was able to do for us in helping bring Adeline home. You will always hold a special place in our lives and we are grateful for how you are helping bring families together."
