Six years ago my husband and I made the decision to begin the adoption process. The very first year we found ourselves overwhelmed with knowledge. Not knowing what to do, we enlisted the help of friends to narrow down our options. ANLC was actually found and recommend to us by my mother. The whole family was impressed with the national network ANLC had complied and the resource they had been for so many other families. I am so glad that in the midst of all the research Mom helped us find ANLC. We were fortunate that we were given Danielle and that she guided us each step of the way. She was available to us at every turn. She eased all our fears and helped us through each hurdle. Five years passed and Mark and I had come to terms that we may live a life with just us two. Waiting was the hardest part of the journey. Thankfully, we renewed that last homestudy and in September we recieved our call that a birth mother wanted us. There is no doubt in my mind that we waited for this specific child for a reason. We were always ment to be together. The ANLC staff helped us stay patient and on track for this precious one. I would suggest to all families looking to adopt to utilize ANLC. Our adoption was not in California and the law firm they connected us with was stellar. Post placement, the staff continues to have our best interests at heart. Mark and I will forever be thankful for ANLC.
