Thank you for providing the opportunity to share my family's story.

Wow, Tom, what a story! From reading both experiences it’s pretty clear it was meant to be and the four of you were meant to become a family. So happy it worked out so well for you but wow, what a wild ride!

So fun to read this story! As someone whose adoption journey turned out *very* differently, I have to agree that the first one sounds like every waiting adoptive parent's dream. You have a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing!

Indeed, adoptive families are just one perspective in the entire adoption experience. The voice of adoptees and birth families so very important and cannot be overlooked.

Thank you for sharing! While not the same as adoption, our son was thanks to a donor embryo. Some people consider this "adopting" a embryo.

It’s important to celebrate all the ways in which families can be created. Thank YOU for sharing.
