Rob and Emily both work in health care. Emily is a nurse who works three days a week – a great schedule for raising kids! And Rob is a graduate student in radiology.

They have a large, extended family that lives close, so there are lots of family get-togethers and vacations.

They are living their dream and want a child to share it with.

Family comes first for Jim and Shannon.  They spend lots of time with their brothers and sisters, and their children, several of whom are adopted.   That’s why Shannon always knew she would adopt.  Family activities involve traveling, kayaking and horseback riding, and Jim’s mother is just waiting to make a quilt for their new baby.  Now all they need is the new baby!

Every placement day in our office is a tug at your heart strings sort of day, but when we reach significant numbers here at the agency we are very proud and very happy!

Last week baby Caroline was brought in to meet her adoptive parents for the first time.  She was  the 275^th baby that our agency A Child’s Hope has placed for adoption. Each one has been and will always be very special.

We are very proud to have played a part in uniting so many birthparents and waiting adoptive parents over the years.  Adoption is truly a loving way to build a family!

Thank you to all 275 families that have allowed us to be a part of this very special time in their lives!

Ike and Pam met and actually dated in high school but then went their separate ways for college.  Years later, though, they ended up at the same college – Pam for graduate work, Ike finishing his degree – in the same apartment complex, in the same apartment building, across the hall from each other.  It was fate!

This time around the timing was right. They married and that was 14 years ago, and they’re still happy together!  Ike and Pam love spending time in the mountains and at the beaches in North Carolina.  They’re both athletic and enjoy playing and watching sports.  They love spending time with their friends and family and are proud godparents of their best friends’ daughter. Both their families live within a short drive, so holidays are eventful!  Between them, Ike and Pam have nine nieces and nephews, two of whom are adopted.

They plan to tell their child as much about his or her birth mother and her family as she is open to, and about the love it took for her to make the adoption decision.

Thanks to Ike and Pam for allowing us to tell the story!
