I Chose Adoption

"I was not able to raise another child financially or emotionally. My social worker has been wonderful. I don't know what I would have done without her."

If it weren’t for this agency, "I would have made the wrong choice [for me]. I would have a baby, maybe even dropped out of school."

---A woman who made an adoption plan for her child.

Definition of adoption from a 13-year old

"To me, adoption is a wonderful and beautiful thing. It means that someone wants to love and take care of someone else they don't even know. When a couple or individual decides to have a child and care for him or her for life and to give them love, support, values and a family they otherwise would not have. To me, all of being adopted is a great thing. That means my mom and dad are great, caring and loving people."
