We would like to have an open adoption with you. We were chosen by Van's birth parents when his birth mother was about four months along. We were able to spend the next five months getting to know them, including flying out to meet them in person before the birth. We feel very blessed to have them in our lives. Van will never have to wonder about where he came from. He will always know them and that is a wonderful thing. Of course, we understand everyone is different and every adoption is unique. We look forward to getting to know you and finding out what kind of relationship you would like to have with us.
