Around this time of the year we begin to look forward to warmer weather, longer days and being outside again.  The smell of spring is like no other smell, it just uplifts us and we look forward to the physical changes around us.  We become aware of the flowers beginning to bloom, trees leafing out and how blue the sky is. It is a time of feeling renewed and it seems like we have a little bit more energy in our steps.

As you begin to venture outside again, you will see families playing in the park or out walking together.  It may bring up all of your longings to become a family and possibly what you have gone through already to make your dream become a reality.  Most adoptive parents who have adopted a child through the Independent Adoption Center (IAC) pursued infertility treatments to no avail and they were emotionally, as well as financially draining.  I can attest to this personally as an adoptive parent that first went through several years of infertility treatments prior to the adoption of my two children at birth.

With a renewed outlook, you can begin to explore which avenue is best for your family.  The Independent Adoption Center is an open adoption agency committed to providing you with the child you have wished for in an environment of professional counseling and support. As we celebrate our 25th year of open adoptions, we would like nothing more than for you to be one of the families in the park, pushing your baby’s stroller next year.

Won’t you give us a call?  We will provide you with a packet of information on our agency at no cost and we offer free monthly adoption information sessions.  We know waiting to have a child is difficult.  Let us help you become one of our happy families.

Sharon Fitzgerald is the Director of Advertising and Marketing for the Independent Adoption Center, a licensed adoption agency.
