We are Karen, Jeff & DerekIf you are considering Open Adoption... |  We hope for the best for both you and your child -- whatever that may be -- and our hearts go out to you as you wrestle with a very difficult decision requiring great love and courage. | We adopted our son Derek through open adoption, and we have experienced how much love and courage are a part of that process. We believe in open adoption as we have seen first hand the benefits Derek has received through knowing his birthmother and extended family.
OUR PROMISE TO YOU: We promise that you will know with absolute certainty that your child is loved and cared for with joy and the utmost dedication. We also promise that your child will know how much you love them, and we will make sure you will know how much your child loves you!
