Hello gang, My husband and I are proud adoptive parents of a beautiful baby girl. Our angel is just shy of 10 months. We had a domestic infant adoption through Catholic Charities. We have a semi-open adoption and were involved in the last trimester of our daughters first mothers pregnancy. We were blessed to attend ultrasounds and visits at the hospital when our girl was born. We brought her home from the hospital at 72 hours. We reside in Florida. Great experience, true blessing. We would not have changed anything through this process. We are currently waiting for our finalization hearing and our adoption will be complete! Should we chooses to grow our family, I will use catholic charities again. God Bless and Good Luck!!!
