Jaidyn
Marcus and Noel returned to LifeLong for their second adoption. After a long journey, they finally welcomed Jaidyn Geneva! Through patience, faith and a little distraction named Jordan (Jaidyn's big brother), Marcus and Noel made it to the finish line. Jaidyn's courageous birthmother chose an amazing family for her beautiful daughter, and despite all of the unknowns, they were all able to work together to make this happen with the assistance of LifeLong's Adoptive Parent Coordinator, Jenee, and Birthmother Coordinator, Nicole. We are blessed to be able to announce another family created through the miracle of adoption. Congratulations!

Congratulations Chris & Erika

Chris and Erika joined Lifelong in late 2016. Excited to expand their family, they remained enthusiastic despite waiting for the perfect connection for several months. With a situation that came up on LifeLong's end, they got a very last-minute call to head to Georgia on the weekend of May 19th. Chris and Erika dropped everything, started retaining services right away with the guidance of LifeLong, and started towards Georgia without any hesitation. Baby Juliana was born on May 12th and Chris and Erika started talking to Juliana's brave birth parents a week after she was born. Juliana's birth parents made this amazingly brave decision to put themselves last and do all that they can for Juliana and make an adoption plan. Despite the waiting, it truly has made this couple's dream come true! Congratulations to Chris, Erika, and family — LifeLong is ecstatic to have played a role in helping this family grow!

A beautifully strong expectant mother with adoption in her heart early on came to LifeLong and chose Joshua and Richard to parent her son. Both the birthmother and adoptive parents recall their first meeting as being nothing short of amazing! They did not want their time together to end. They talked more than they ate, and this amazing woman left their visit knowing she wanted nothing more than for this couple to parent her child.

Sebastian
Congratulations Miles & Russell
Sebastian
Congratulations to Miles and Russell on the birth of the handsome son, Sebastian Miles! Miles and Russell were only presented two times before talking with their lovely birthmother, Ashley! After their very first phone call, everyone knew this was meant to be. Ashley was ready to take the selfless steps towards placing her baby with Miles and Russell. In February, their Adoptive Parent Coordinator, Melinda, joyously connected them with Ashley. The parents-to-be had less than three months to develop a relationship with Ashley, and she with them. However, their connection was strong, and by the time April rolled around, everyone was prepared for the birth of this sweet little boy. We are so thankful for the altruistic mother that blessed Miles and Russell with this child. We here at LifeLong could not be more thrilled with this happily ever after!
Congratulations Miles & Russell

Their journey progressed as they talked and they met face to face, solidifying their relationship and her decision on the family that was right for her baby.

They always remained calm and patient and trusted the process of adoption. They assured the birthmother that they were there to support her and be there for her whenever she gave them the word, and they were. They hopped in the car the second she told them he was born! The bond they formed and the caring love they showed towards her in such a short amount of time was so admirable. Congratulations again to this happy couple!
