Steve and Wendy are seeking to adopt through open adoption with birthmother




	Open Adoption We are definitely ready to be parents and look forward to sharing our love with a child. In fact, we have been focused on bringing a child into our life since our wedding in October, 2005. After years of acupuncture and herbs, twelve attempts with fertility drugs, and three trips to Mexico for alternative treatments, we realized that having our own biological child was not in the cards. We embraced the idea of open adoption and began the process of the home study in early 2008. By late 2008, the paper work was all complete and we were ready to connect with birthmothers. Since then, we have had many potential opportunities arrive and then fall through, primarily because the birth mothers changed their minds and decided to keep their babies. However, we are very resilient and patient, and we know that the right match will happen soon. If you are reading this, perhaps we have found our match! We are committed to having an open adoption because we’d like our child to know you, to know who their birth parents are, and to know something about their roots. It is important for our child to know about their history (especially medical history), to know about any relatives, and to understand their adoption story. Ideally, we hope that you and the birth family will want to stay in contact with our family, and that we can maintain a warm and caring relationship. We’d like you and the birth family to be as involved in our family as is comfortable for you. We plan to be open about the adoption from the very beginning and hope it will be possible for you and the birth family to maintain connection with the child, and with us. We believe that an open adoption is ideal for the child and everyone in the whole family, and we truly hope to share special moments and milestones with you and your family.
