Anita
I'm looking to adopt a baby
Hi, my name is Anita. While we’ve never met, my heart goes out to you, as I know you are in the process of making very important decisions for yourself and your child. I’m grateful that you’d like to learn a little about me and my family and consider how I might fit into your decisions.
Experiences like caring for my younger brother, looking after all of my cousins at family gatherings, and doting on my friends and their children have taught me that I truly enjoy loving the people around me. Last year, I was blessed to adopt a baby boy. Immediately welcomed by my family and friends, he has brought incredible joy and meaning into my life and reminded me that I have a lot of love to give. Just as I treasure my relationship with him, I would treasure the opportunity to develop a nurturing relationship with another child. I think children are such bright lights, and I am so grateful to encourage and celebrate the discoveries and passions of children learning to walk through the world.
