On the front cover: Lola Claire is full of life, smiles constantly, plays all day long and learns something new every day. We are overjoyed with the opportunity to be her mom and dad! She loves reading books, riding in her little tikes car outside, swimming, and bath time is her absolute favorite. She loves playing with granddad’s dogs and she is an explorer, very inquisitive and full of giggles!!! There are not enough words to express our LOVE for Lola Claire and the joy she brings to both of us and our family and friends! — James & Tricia Parents of Lola Claire
After two disruptions in our adoption process, we were beginning to wonder if our dream of having a family would ever come true. Then, we got the call that a birth mom had chosen us and a boy would be born in a few weeks. Two days later, they called us back and said it wasn’t one boy but it was twins! We were overjoyed! Austin and Noah are the happiest, sweetest boys and bring joy to everyone they meet. We are so thankful to Adoption Network Law Center. — Kevin & Barbara Parents of Austin & Noah

We tried to grow our family for over 4 years before turning to ANLC for help. Within nine months of our profile going “live” to birth parents for consideration, we were given the greatest gift of our girl. She has brought such joy to our lives, and we hope that we can do the same for her as she grows. She has been such a blessing, and we are so grateful to ANLC for their role in bringing us together. — Jose & Stephanie Parents of Sophia

Life doesn’t get any better than our little trio. We are so blessed to have beautiful, healthy, smart children. It’s been a joy to watch them grow into their own little personalities over the past 6 years. Thank you ANLC for guiding us through our journey not once, not twice, but three times. Without you none of this would have been possible! —Thomas & Wendy Parents of Taylor, Jordyn and Aidyn

Adalyn loves to smile both while awake and when sleeping. She has a smile that just melts your heart. Adalyn has been gifted a delightful personality that shines ever so brightly all day and night long. She is very observant and in tune with all that is going on around her. Her soft sweet vocalizations, little giggles and facial expressions are a pure delight to behold as she interacts with all those who are near her. Adalyn loves to cuddle, snuggle and be sung to. Daily Adalyn fills our lives with overflowing joy, laughter and thanksgiving. All who know her and meet her, adore her immensely...she is quite a little “love bug.” We simply cannot imagine our lives any other way than with our precious Adalyn. We count ourselves richly blessed and are honored and privileged to be her forever parents (“Daddy” & “Mommy”). We are so very thankful for the ANLC team and their genuine care and guidance they gave us through our entire adoption journey.

The past 3 years since we received that call from ANLC telling us that “a little boy has been born” and asking if we could go pick him up the next day have gone by so fast. We are so amazed at what a sweet, caring, funny and intelligent little boy Bodie has grown into. I can’t imagine our world without him! Bodie brings a little joy to everyone he meets – he has such a good soul and a loving heart. He is what makes our family complete! I never thought I could feel such true joy but Bodie really does make my husband and I want to be the best people, the best parents and the best role models possible. — Kevin & Gianna Parents of Bodie

The gift of adoption has blessed our family three times! With the addition of Hudson, all of our dreams came true! After three failed adoption opportunities in three months, we had almost given up hope. Then on my way to pick up our children from school, we got THE CALL. Someone had picked us and the baby was being born the very next morning on the other side of the country! Hudson, you are our perfect angel! We are so blessed to have you in our family and you truly are a dream come true! — Brian & Lisa Parents of Hudson

Neriah was born on February 18, 2013. She has been the most amazing addition to our family. She is full of energy and her personality lights up a room from the moment she enters it. She captures your heart upon your first interaction with her. Our journey with ANLC was so fast and smooth. We had Neriah in our arms within 3 months of going live. Adoption is an experience unlike anything else in life. We wish everyone was fortunate enough to experience what we have through the help of ANLC. We look forward to starting the process again sometime in 2015! — Joshua & Elisabeth Parents of Neriah

The adoption process for us would best be described as “a dream come true,” meant to be, experience! Six weeks after we finished our paperwork, we were chosen by Birth Parents. We developed an incredible relationship with them throughout her pregnancy and learned about them and their families and now know about our son’s background. We were in the delivery for his birth and as soon as he was born, there was a connection between him and us. Even our Birth Parents sensed it and felt so at peace with their decision of choosing us. Christian is an amazing blessing and has added so much love and joy to our home. He is our perfect baby angel and we look forward to adopting a little sister for him soon. — Kevin & Tracy Parents of Christian
