calendar kids 2016
We have been blessed with the privilege of another amazing year of “Helping Build Families, One Miracle At A Time®.” It is hard to imagine that just a short time ago the parents of these beautiful children thought that they may never know the love for a child. Their trust in our team not only helped them overcome their fears, but it gave them hope and, ultimately, made their dreams a reality. We create Calendar Kids each year in celebration of those who partner with ANLC in their journey to parenthood. Thank you parents for sharing your magnificent children with all who believe in this testament of courage, trust and SUCCESS! We wish you a very healthy and happy 2016. May your year be filled with the endless joy of parenting! Kristin A.F. Yellin and the ANLC Team
Front Cover: “Our little Liam is definitely the fire in our lives. The road that led to him was one of dead ends and turns. If it wasn’t for the amazing guidance and support of ANLC, our adoption journey could have had a different result. For every little emergency, there was always a supportive person waiting to assist and calm our hearts.” — K evin and Mollie, parents of Liam
“My husband and I were fortunate enough to be blessed with this perfect little boy in May of 2014. He was the gift we’d been waiting to complete our family. Every day we are thankful that Adoption Network Law Center was able to help us make that dream a reality.” — Brendan and Krista, parents of Kyle
