This is National Adoption Month and I would ordinarily post something about “the miracle of adoption” This post is very different as I am closing my adoption agency effective December 31, 2021, after 35 amazing years! Child & Parent Services was and still is “a miracle” for thousands of families who were fulfilling their dreams of having children. Having relationships with all my adoptive families has brought me an indescribable amount of joy! Looking at the hundreds of pictures of your children on the walls of my office was a daily reminder of the extraordinary gifts we have been given.
I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge all the incredible birthmothers who unselfishly made a plan to place their children with our families. We will be eternally grateful for the gifts they have given to us!
A special shout out to my staff of social workers who have dedicated their lives to Child & Parent Services and were so devoted to our families. I am so appreciate for the role they played in assuring the continuing success of our agency!
I am sad to say goodbye but am so grateful to have been a part of this agency and a part of your lives for the past 35 years. I will end with this quote that has so much meaning for me:
“A hundred years from now…it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in my bank account, but the world may be better because I was important in the life of a child.”
