Diane, Mardie, and the Lifetime staff,

I really wanted to thank you for the support that you provided me throughout my college years (as well as before!) Thank you for the Lifetime scholarships, as well as providing me the opportunity to find a wonderful family for our daughter at such a young age! The support has led to the graduation I have earned! I will be walking in the ceremony this May, getting my B.A. in Political Science.

Thank you again and I will keep in touch! Keep on changing lives!

To Diane, my Lifetime Adoption Coordinator,

It has been almost a year since the little bundle of joy that I'm proud to call my birth son has been born. I looked through tons of profiles while I was pregnant trying to find the family who could raise my baby. One couple always stood out because the woman reminded me of my mother. I ended up talking to a few couples that didn't work out and as my due date came closer, I was worried if I could find the right couple. About a week before I had the baby, I started talking to these wonderful people. They came to the hospital the morning after I had my baby and I knew that they were the right ones. They keep me posted and send me lots of pictures. I'm truly grateful to have found them. It was the hardest thing I have ever done, next to actually giving birth. He will always be my birth son. These people and their families have taken in this child and given him the love, care and support a child needs to grow. I cannot express enough how truly grateful I am. I never gave up my child; I've gained a second family.

Forever grateful,
Birthmother in Nevada

Dear Lifetime,

I feel that it is destiny that I found Lifetime. If not meant to be, I wouldn't have reached a live person when I called. I'm so glad I got to talk to someone.

To my coordinator Lori,

Thank you sooo sooo much for the ring and for everything! I can't explain how much it means to me! I didn't think you'd care or think of me after I had a miscarriage. The cards and sympathy really meant a lot to me, I can't thank you enough!

Dear Lifetime,

Hi. I just wanted to thank Libby Murray (my coordinator) so much for all she did in helping me to get through my adoption. If it wasn't for her then I don't know the situation that I would be in now, but thanks a lot.

Hello to my Coordinator at Lifetime, Libby

Thank you so much for the website. I haven't had time to really look through it but I will when I am ready. Thanks again. I just wanted to send some pictures of my family and let you know I am doing alright. Pam (Elijah's adoptive mother) is such a blessing to me. Knowing that my son is safe and loved is all I ever wanted but I did not expect the bond that she and I would share as Mothers of our beautiful baby boy. He is so big Libby. I told Pam that she is going to make him POP!!! I am sure she has sent you pictures already. She keeps me posted. I wouldn't want to share my son with anyone else but her! Thank you again for bringing Pam and Ed in my life. They have turned my pain, and worry into joy and peace with my decision.

All My Gratitude,

Birthmother in California

Dear Lifetime Adoption,

I really enjoyed the whole experience of the adoption. The coordinator that I worked with really made it easy to talk and helped me a lot. She called and checked in on me and I couldn't have picked a better MOM and DAD than Nikki and Garrett.

Thank You,

Vincent feeding his baby girl.

To Vincent and Adrienne,

Not long ago we met as strangers. We were strangers who needed each other. I needed you to open your hearts and home to my child. You needed me to give you a child that you had longed for. It is my belief that at the time of conception, God was forming a plan to bring us together in spite of the hundreds of miles that separated us.

From the moment we met, I felt a sense of relief. I was relieved that God had sent angels to care for my child. Although I was relieved, I was also hesitant to believe total strangers could love my child as their own. It wasn’t until I watched you two at the hospital holding and caring for my child, did I realize how amazing adoption could be. My fears quickly deteriorated.

Vincent, as if vowing to protect her, you gently picked up my little girl and wrapped your arms around her. The look in your eyes was priceless. It was not unlike the way my deceased father used to look at me when he told me he loved me. You were always concerned when her last feeding or diaper change was. It was clear to me that she had not only conquered your heart but that she was in good hands. I will not be there to see it, but God bless the day that she first calls you Daddy.

Adrienne, when a woman delivers a child, instinctively she cries tears of joy. You might as well have delivered her because your tears never ran dry. You are truly a gift from God. The love and nurture that you gave my child was so real and strong that all who was privy to witness you with her felt it. It is my honor to have played such a role in you becoming a mother.

I love you both. I cannot tell you how much it means to me to know that two people such as you adopted my baby. I wish you all the happiness in the world. May God bless you because you have definitely blessed me.

Thank You,
Birthmother in Indiana
