As they got to know their children’s birth families upon being matched, they knew that open adoption was for them…..200% for them. They grew to love them as their own, saw how rich their lives could be with the children and their birth families in it, and that it was absolutely true that more people to love a child and invest in them was a healthy, life-giving, and beautiful thing.
Six years later, it still couldn’t be more true. Maggie recalls her experience with our adoption program and staff in Grand Rapids saying, “I am so appreciative that Catholic Charities West Michigan took the time to invest in us, our children’s birth parents and ultimately our children by educating us, walking with us, and showing us how incredible open adoption can be.”
