Hi, our adoption story is uniquely ours and we’re grateful to share it with you and wish you the best in your adoption pursuits. We are a family of four with our 4-year-old son Boston, and our 1-year-old daughter Ashlynne.
Our son, Boston, was 7.5 weeks old when his birthmother placed with us. Because Boston was already born and living with the birth mother, the adoption process was about 2 weeks from the first phone call to placement day, which was just what we needed after several failed adoptions. Boston was placed at his birth grandparents’ home in Colorado. It was a powerfully emotional day that we’ll treasure forever. The birth family was amazingly strong and knew they were making the right decision for Boston.
We love Boston’s birth family and keep in regular contact with them via visits to Colorado, Facebook, a regularly updated blog, email, phone and mailed pictures and gifts. We expect a long relationship with the birth mother and her family.

Ashlynne’s adoption story is entirely opposite of Boston’s. We met Ashlynne’s birth mother through itsaboutlove.org, when Ashlynne’s birth mother was barely four-months pregnant. The birth mother found us on the website, sent us an email and everything clicked into place. The birth mother and I became emailing buddies. We scheduled a “formal” face-to-face at the agency a few weeks from the first email; and then had two more “informal” face-to-face visits on our own after that. When the birth mother was five-and-half months along, she officially notified us that she had chosen us has her adopted couple. Placement occurred at the hospital 2 days after Ashlynne’s birth and was amazing; no words to describe it.
Since placement we’ve had consistent and regular visits with the birth family. Because they live here locally, we usually see them at least once a month. They are an extension to our family and we exchange gifts, letters, email, Facebook and access to our family blog.
We also have a relationship with Ashlynne’s birth father. His visits are less often, but we enjoy having him in our lives and appreciate his support in the adoption.
We look forward to helping you with any questions you may need. Particularly in regarding:
· Birth father relationships
· Open Adoptions
· Post-placement Out-of-state Visits
· Failed Adoptions
