There are plenty of resources on adoption on the internet, but the best way to find out what adoption is really like is to hear the firsthand accounts of the families who have been on the journey themselves. Recently, we reached out to one of our adoptive couples, who has adopted twice now from the same birth mother through our office. Here is what the adoptive mother had to say about her experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Q: What made you choose adoption?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n AP: We had a heart for foster care\/adoption from the beginning of our marriage. About three years into marriage, we learned of our infertility diagnosis. Once we received that diagnosis, we felt peace and confidence that God would grow our family through adoption. We never even explored infertility treatments or options.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: Why did you choose Ray Godwin? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n AP: Any time we met a family who had adopted domestically, we would ask what lawyer they used, and it was always Ray Godwin! I also met Mr. Godwin at an adoption conference and felt he was very knowledgeable and experienced.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: What were your experiences like working with Ray on each adoption?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n AP: Excellent. Both experiences were very different. But Ray and his team were wonderful both times. Ray was always available to consult during difficult times and decisions. And Kathleen was always a calm, reassuring, and listening ear for me when I needed to process difficult moments. Also, we always felt that Ray and his team were our advocates and had our best interests at heart. The adoption world is very birth mother-centered (as it should be!), but our past experience with an agency made us feel like we were the forgotten party. In comparison, we had a very open, trusting relationship with Ray and his team, and we felt seen and heard by them.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n
