Hello.
You are a very brave woman and very compassionate to want the best for your son. Are you still feeling the need to make this decision? We are a bi-racial couple in NC with an eight year old son Kelly - Jordan. We own our home and we have been together for over ten years.

We recently had an adoption fall through due to the birth father changing his mind about parenting ... so, we are searching for an opportunity to grow our family.

Please email me if you are still considering adoption as an option.

God Bless.

Susan
