SUCCESS STORIES

- "Being able to adopt Christopher through TLC was such a blessing for us. The help and assistance we received from TLC was invaluable. Christopher is happy being adopted because he felt safe and secure through the process."

- "We are all totally enjoying David's new status as "fully adopted" son. It's so great to say--"we adopted him, he's our son"--instead of, "We're adopting him, we hope to finalize soon." It's like I can let out my breath now. I didn't like being in limbo. I'm so happy to go into the holidays and into forever knowing that no one can take him away. It's a great feeling!
Thanks again for being part of our miracle. People like you, Jen, and Susan and Denise and Lisa Rohe all made this the best experience we could have had. I totally appreciate how much you all care for your foster and adopting families! I've referred four more families to you guys since I last saw you! I rave about you to everyone. David's speech therapist is one of the people. She's already adopted from China, but she wants a boy now, too. She was very impressed with TLC and you and David. Anyway, I think you guys offer a wonderful service to the community and I hope TLC is around forever."

- "The day we met our children is indelibly etched into my heart and mind. I can see Denise, Sydne, Charlene, Lisa, and our children, Serra and Anthony, every time I think about it. I am so proud we were chosen to be their parents. The adoption social worker, Sydne, and Denise believed in us
enough to entrust those two little lives to our care. I am honored beyond words. I have only felt this happy a couple of times in my life and this was the top. I will never forget what everyone, and especially Sydne and Denise, has done for us. I will be happy to tell anyone who wants to listen about
how great it is to be a foster-adopt parent. I think I understand now why you social workers love your jobs so much. There is nothing like the love of a child. It is pure and honest and it just makes everything else seem so insignificant. When I walk in the door at night and those two run and jump
in my arms it just makes me melt. Keep doing your important work with all those children. You are so good at it because your heart is squarely in it for keeps. And, I cannot tell you what a great job I think the former foster mom did with the children before we got them. You are all our angels."
