Testimonials

   Most couples reach the decision to adopt for the same two reasons-the strong desire to raise children, and the inability to bear their own biological children together. But once they reach the decision to adopt, couples take widely different paths to reach their adoption goals. Adoptive couples universally confront fear of something they likely know little about-the process of adoption. There are dozens of questions to ask. There are either rumors to be confirmed, or myths to be dispelled. There are very difficult questions to ask about who you are, what you stand for and what you are willing to do in order to reach your family goals. We were no different.

   Karen and I were extremely lucky. Once we decided to pursue adoption, we immediately and miraculously fell into a targeted situation. But, like everyone else, we had questions and fears. We needed social workers to facilitate the adoption, home studies, general education and guidance. That is when we met Gentle Care. At every turn they met or exceeded our expectations. Throughout the entire process the staff was organized, professional, empathetic, responsive, educative and true to its' name-gently caring.

   When it came time for us to consider a second child, we never hesitated to walk through the process again with Gentle Care. This time we went through the entire regular process. But Gentle Care's fine and compassionate service remained something we could rely upon through the long months and, ultimately, two years before we succeeded again.

   Our own experience with Gentle Care was so positive, and so meaningful, that we have done our best to "give back," in whatever ways we have been able. In my case that has meant the pleasure and honor of serving on the Board of Directors. In Karen's, it has been fostering, facilitating, volunteering or just spreading the good word of adoption.
