Jordan - Bright Futures 2020

Parent Quote

I loved “Sasha” the minute he was put in my arms by his caretaker in Russia. I cried tears of joy. I heard God speak, “here is the child I had planned for you all along.” Two months later, we returned for our court date in Ryazan. He was officially our son! The U.S. adoption was also a joyful and memorable day. Jordan chose a stuffed bear displayed in front of the judge that he still has today. Jordan has grown up into an amazing, intelligent, talented, and determined young man.

From the Graduate

From a very young age, my adoption has been integrated into many conversations, and I have always been proud to have been adopted. As I have grown older, the awareness of all that my adoptive parents have done for me has given me an even greater appreciation for how fortunate I am to have been adopted. Because of my adoption, I have been blessed with opportunities in education, travel, my passions of gymnastics and guitar, and now the ability to attend college and pursue an engineering degree. Adoption will always be a part of my story, and I will forever be grateful for the life that my adoptive parents have given me.
