They have enabled others to experience the joy of becoming parents and created futures, not only for those families, but also for their children, for a lifetime.

Here is a sweet update from a birthmother that we rewarded a scholarship to.

 

Hi Amy,

How are you doing? It seems like just a few weeks ago I was awarded this great scholarship and now it’s nearly the end of the semester. I’m excited to tell Lifetime Adoption Foundation everything I’ve learned from this class and how it’s helped me. I currently have an A in the class and barring a major catastrophe that’s what my final grade will be.

I’ve registered for summer school and enrolled in 2 classes that I’m excited about. Also, can I send you guys a copy of my final project? I’d like for you guys to see what I’ve been doing and feel confident that the money you generously granted me with was well spent.

All my best,

Rebecca
