Adoption stories

We share with you authentic stories of adoptive and foster families, which reflect their own experiences and feelings from the period of submitting an application for adoption or foster care, but also from the moments when the much-desired phone rang and they were matched with a child. We believe their stories will inspire or motivate you to apply.

We sincerely thank all the families who selflessly provided us interviews.

We are still waiting for the "magic phone call".
