Everyone from Megan Riley, Laurie Walker, Ken Hawkins and even the women who answer your phones were so supportive, caring and concerned for my wife and I.

After 4 years of infertility treatments, my husband and I made the decision to adopt.

After several years of infertility we decided that we were tired of the emotional roller coaster ride and were ready to adopt. We signed up with American Adoptions and our journey began. At first, we took the approach that it will happen when it happens and that kept us going until June 2006 (15 months after we signed up). During that 15 months, we did get calls but for one reason or another, no match was made.

Our experience with American Adoptions and Eugene Kelley Law Firm was very positive and we are so glad that we got to know you all!

Once again, THANK YOU AMERICAN ADOPTIONS. You really do make dreams come true.

You never think you will be one of those couples you hear about who can’t get pregnant no matter what they do. Then, one day it became a reality. Suddenly, my husband and I became one of those couples. We knew we wanted a family and fertility wasn’t for me so we started considering adoption. Thinking back, I knew I could love any baby, it didn’t have to be biological. Every time I would see a baby I was drawn to it and found myself saying, “I could take this baby home and love it as if it were my own biological child.” That’s how I knew adoption was right for my husband and me.

We would like to thank all of you for your love, support and prayers that have brought us to this miraculous day of becoming a family forever.

"Hello, my name is Nancy and I am calling to tell you your son is being born!"

I remember American Adoptions saying that somehow the right baby always ends up with the right family at the right time. They really know what they're taking about.

We truly feel our little boy is a miracle and will always be the most precious gift of our lives. It is just amazing he came to us on Christmas Day! When we came home with him in early January we felt that the North Star was shining over our house.
