You can feel so much love from just 16 minutes. Keep going guys :) You both are amazing!

A family is one that knows what unconditional love is and feels safe to be vulnerable and authentic, yet growing to be better versions of self. For the couple, it means to be there for each other first as partners before the roles of parenting.

Thank you for sharing with us! Adoption and fostering are Christian values just as Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior, has adopted us as His.
