Dear Families,
Thank you for visiting us. David and I have devoted our lives to working with children in the education and youth development fields. We both worked very hard for many years at our chosen careers and were very successful.
In April of 1999, we decided to adopt a child and this decision changed our lives. A routine adoption process, which normally took 6 to 9 months and sometimes less, resulted in a very difficult 20 month experience during which we lost two children. Both losses occurred in the final stages of our respective adoption process and each loss was extremely painful, challenging our patience, perseverance and emotional well being. Steadfastness and resolve paid off the third time and resulted in a successful, timely adoption of a beautiful, healthy 3 1/2 month old baby girl.
We realized that every adoptive parent's journey will result in its own unique story, but we also realized that with caring, sensitive, informed and supportive agency services, the journey to parenthood can be achieved in a less stressful manner and so we decided to form such an agency. The name Heart to Heart was chosen for a dual purpose. First, it describes what the agency does; unites two or more hearts together in a family bond. Second, it describes how that service is rendered; in a very heartfelt, sensitive, caring, supportive manner designed to make the experience as stress free as possible.
Inspired by the experience of adoption, by our thankfulness to God for His great gift of life that He has blessed us with and by the dire need of children around the world, we have chosen to devote the rest of our lives to "Uniting Families." I
