LDS Family Services Encourages OPEN Adoptions

This article was featured in The Standard yesterday.  It is terrific!  Please read it and pass it on!

JUST ONE OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES FROM THE ARTICE:

Although Scott Case found his first children through a series of personal relationships, both of his children's adoptions were handled through LDS Family Services. He said the openness of both adoptions has contributed to the self-worth and well-being of all involved.  "There's definitely a love between adoptive parents and birth parents," he said.Sheri Barker, a birth mother from Pleasant View who placed her daughter through LDS Family Services, said the openness of her 7-year-old daughter's adoption brought her a great sense of peace and closure."They treat me like an angel," said the 38-year-old of her daughter's adoptive parents. "I do feel like their angel."

Beautiful, just beautiful!
