Amber and Roger’s Newborn Adoption Journey: A Story of Love and Hope
We are a laid-back, caring, and family-focused couple who believes in embracing life’s journey with positivity. No matter the challenge, we always find a way forward. Supporting and uplifting others—whether family, friends, or strangers—is something we deeply value.
Starting a family has always been our dream. While we had discussed adoption as a possibility, we never expected it to be the path that would lead us to parenthood. Adoption was already close to our hearts—Roger’s best friend and Amber’s godbrother were both adopted—so it felt like a natural choice for our family.
Navigating the Adoption Process
Deciding to adopt was exciting, but at first, we felt overwhelmed. We asked ourselves, Where do we start? What if we make the wrong decision? The unknowns felt daunting, but we knew adoption was the right choice.
Then we found Graceful Adoptions online. Right away, we noticed they were different from other agencies we had researched. The moment we spoke with their team, we felt at ease—what a breath of fresh air! They guided us step by step, answered every question, and kept us informed throughout the process. We never had to worry about anything.
Meeting an Incredible Birth Mother
Being matched with an expectant mother was an emotional moment—we cried when we first met her. We were nervous at first, unsure of how the conversation would go, but she was so warm and funny that she immediately put us at ease. We absolutely love and respect her and look forward to maintaining a relationship with her in the years to come.
Advice for Future Adoptive Parents
If you’re considering adoption, our biggest recommendation is to call Graceful Adoptions. Their expertise, honesty, and support made all the difference in our journey.
A few things we learned along the way:
✅ Stay positive. Focus on the excitement and joy rather than the unknowns.
✅ Be patient. The adoption process can take time—don’t expect placement within a few weeks or months.
✅ Trust the process. In the end, it’s completely worth it.
Thanks to Graceful Adoptions, we are now parents, and our hearts are full.
