We have adopted two children, in two entirely unique situations. Both times, we have been so grateful that the birth moms chose to carry their pregnancies to term and to opt for adoption. We have open adoptions with both and are able to interact within these 'extended' families.

We adopted our son Neko as an infant. We have had an incredible relationship with his birth family including his paternal grandmother. She has also become a part of our family with regular visits and interaction with our family.
