Parent Quote

We were invited to be at the hospital when Kyra was born. It was a special gift that we will always be grateful for. Her birth mother was so brave and loving. The hospital was very accommodating to us as adoptive parents, and the Gladney staff was supportive to us all. The first time we laid eyes on Kyra we felt our hearts pound in a way we hadn't felt before. The cumulation of emotion from years of infertility and our adoption journey flooded over into joy. She was perfect. We wanted nothing more than to hold her and love her and never stop. Thanks to Gladney that dream became a reality.
