My husband, Michael and I were both teachers and our life was predictable, scheduled around the school year. Our plan was easy – first comes love, then comes marriage… After years of infertility, my husband and I entered into the world of adoption. I didn’t know what to expect.

Empowering healthcare workers and families through adoption education, support and community connection.
Family to Family Support Network empowers healthcare workers to care for patients in a sensitive, unbiased manner.
We know that compassionate care is essential for a patient’s journey, and our hope is that hospitals will implement the Family to Family Adoption Support Program to support their patients and their families. With this program, the hospital becomes an access point for not only excellent medical care, but emotional support for those facing an unintended pregnancy. With our training curriculum, healthcare workers feel confident, educated, and empowered to serve their patients while being sensitive to the logistical and emotional complexity of infant adoption.
