AUGUST 2001
Hello Sandra and Adopting.org! We are excited to say that we have gotten a newborn, Luke. He arrived on July 20th and came home from the hospital in Sacramento to our home in the Bay Area two days later. He was 8 lbs. 7 oz and 20 1/2" long. We are very excited to say the least. Luke is doing very well! We are happy to ask you to remove our link from the waiting families page. We are listed under Kim and Anne. Thanks for everything.
It is with great joy that I write to you and let you know that Bennett and I welcomed a wonderful little boy into our lives last week. Leo was born last Monday and is thriving and fabulous. The birthmother appeared in court yesterday and will be traveling back to her home in a few days. What can I say? We had our best response from your website, including our eventual birthmother. We have HIGHLY recommended to everyone we talk to. Please UN-list us (how good does that feel) and again THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Best - David
"I wrote to you a few months back to tell you about our adoption that was in progress because of your adoption newsletter. I am happy to report that we have 2 new daughters ages 1 and 2. I read about these girls online in late December through the posting from Illien International Adoption Agency in Atlanta, Georgia. My husband and I didn't even have a homestudy. We worked really hard to get everything accomplished as quickly as possible and 6 months later our family is very busy but very happy with our 2 additional girls. Thank you so much for your good work and I am definitely one of your success stories!!!"

Congratulations on the birth of their daughter!
Dear Sandra,
Thank you so much for such a terrific site. We began our adoption search in January 1998. In December, 1998 our son, Quinten Forrester, was born on my birthday. What a birthday surprise! In January of 2000 we decided to start our search again. We posted our site in February and after just a few weeks we were contacted by a wonderful couple looking for adoptive parents for their baby, but she was only 7 weeks pregnant! Still, we liked them so much that we all made a commitment to each other when she was just 11 weeks pregnant. In August we had the opportunity to fly to our birth parent's home state and see our baby on ultrasound - IT'S A GIRL!!! Over the coarse of the following seven months we became very close, and on November 19, 2000 we were at our daughter's birth mother's side as she gave birth to Naomi Elise born at 2:57 a.m. It was the most incredible experience of my life.
Both of our adoptions were very loving experiences, but this one in particular was a very loving and open from the beginning. Even the nurses were amazed with our openness and love for each other. I credit that to the wealth of information that was available to our daughter's birth parents, much from your site, and to the time that we had to build our relationship. Both of our children's birth parents found us on the Internet, however, we listed with a number of sites so we can not tell exactly which site they found us on. Still, the information gained from your site was very much a deciding factor in choosing life and choosing an open adoption for our precious baby daughter.
With sincere thanks,
De & Steve Dave & Pam: December, 2000
Congratulations on the birth of their son Michael!
Dave and Pam welcomed Michael home on December 1st, having been present outside the delivery room for his birth on November 19th. Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for bringing us together with his birthmom! She found it in early June about two weeks after we linked to your site.. We started building the relationship over the last five months of her pregnancy and got to know her and her family fairly well. She called us when her water broke, and we had plenty of time to drive the seven hours to the hospital and be outside the delivery room for his birth. Our birthmom was the VERY first phone call we received after linking, and we all feel it was 'meant to be'. However we did have several more opportunities present themselves in the first six weeks after linking, so when we're ready to adopt again your site will be our first stop!
Congratulations on the birth of their son!
Please remove our name from your registry ( at least for a little while ) as we have been matched and are home safe and sound with our new son Jordan Christian. An agency in Salt Lake City, Utah found our page on your site. I have been telling everybody I know about the Waiting Families web site and how well it worked for us...I was a little skeptical when I entered all the info and now I have nothing but praise for a system that got us to this point of parenthood. Thanks again. Jeff and Gudrun:November 2000
Congratulations on the birth of their baby girl! From David & Cindy:September 28, 2000
We just wanted to send you an e-mail to let you know that after you placing our birthmother letter on your site Monday, September 18 that on Wednesday September 20, we were contacted by a birthmother who was interested in us. PRAISE THE LORD!!!! We have since spoken to her several times and she has been in contact with our adoption counselors and she has chosen us as the couple she would like to adopt her baby. She is due in March and things seem to be moving right along. We are so very excited and wanted to say thank you so much for your help. Steve & Ronda: September 24, 2000

Congratulations on the birth of their baby girl! From Alissa & Thom:September9, 2000
I'm a little late in telling you this, but we successfully adopted through your site May 17, so you can remove our letter. The birthmom who chose us is a fantastic, loving Canadian woman who we felt an immediate connection with, and our beautiful daughter Emma really does seem to be the child God chose for us! Thanks so much for helping us find each other.
Best wishes,
Alisa, Thom and Emma From Tim, Judy & Tyler:September5, 2000
We have been listed in the Waiting Families section of adopting.org since July 1999. We are happy to report that this listing led us to the birthmother of our new daughter, Kendall Elise!

Matched!From Beth: August 14, 2000
Dear Sandra,
We got 4 calls from our Dear Birthmother website with you in thefirst 5 weeks of being online (and 2 from the IAC agency!). We have prettymuch settled on one wonderful young lady, and have made arrangements withthe IAC to meet with her next week. Since she called we received a few othercalls from prospective BM and we are getting pretty confused with all theincredible birthmother energy coming our way. So we would like to have ourwebsite closed down for the time being. Who would have thought this wouldhappen?Greg & Tracy: August 10, 2000
I just wanted to let you know that we are currently working with a birthmomwho is due in November and she said she found us on your site!!! So thankyou!! We will keep you posted as this progresses, but everything looksgreat for now!! We think it will be a BOY!!Thanks again,

Hi,
I want to extend a big thank you, my husband and I have just completed a very successful adoption thanks, in large part, to your site. The birth parents of our new baby son contacted us after visiting your site. Needless to say, we couldn't be happier. For the moment, we'll be concentrating on enjoying his every little move, so we would ask that you remove our link from the site. You'll find it under "Waiting Parents" -- Lorena and Lawrence.
thanks again

Well, we've successfully adopted a baby boy! Right from the hospital no
doubt, so we became instant parents about 4 weeks ago. I'm writing to ask you
if we could take our web page down for a little while. We've been contacted
three times in the past 4 weeks by birthmothers and even though we want to
adopt a brother or sister for our son, I don't think we can do it so soon!
Please let me know.
THANKS!

Ed and Sue have successfully adopted!
Adopted in less than 4 months
We wanted to let you know that we successfully adopted a beautiful baby boy, and have deleted our home page to avoid birthmothers finding it through searches. (we feel that is so unfair).
Anyway, thank you so much for your help, and for listing our page. He is beautiful and healthy, and our life is enriched even more by his addition to our family.
We extend our best wishes and good luck to those couples who are still searching and want to tell them to hang in there, because it does work. Our son and his birthmother contacted us through the internet, and we are a success story after just 4 months.
Thanks again .

"We have matched with a birthmom that is due to give birth next month. We are receiving so many calls off of this web page that you designed for us, it is incredible! Please let us know if you can remove our page and then put it back up if things don't work out. It gets difficult speaking to so many birthmothers when we probably have our match now!! Thanks for everything...You have been a real blessing to us! "

Message received:9 July 97
Hi--
Wanted to let you know about another successful internet adoption. We posted our letter to birthparents early in May and were contacted May 12th by a birthmom who was already overdue--we already have our son!! We think this service is wonderful and wanted to thank you for providing this low-cost avenue of advertising . Good luck to you and to all of the other adoptive parents who are still waiting!
Thanks--
Jonay and Steve

Yes, we do have a successful adoption. We were contacted through the internet. It may have been through your site but we are not sure. She doesn't remember exactly where she was surfing. Odds are that it was your site, but we will never know for sure. Thanks again. . .
In order to get some idea of how to succeed with a Dear Birthmother Letter online, we asked for the details on this letter....Here's the response
20 May 1997
We did make contact with our birthmother through the internet. We had linked to your site, Adoption on Line Connection, Christian Adoption, and Independent Adoption Center. We also had linked our web page to over 100 search engines. The birthmother found us by surfing in adoption stuff, but she doesn't remember which one. Adoption On Line Connection used black and white photos and the birthmom said it was a color photo, so my guess is that it was your site that she found us on, because she had no previous knowledge of the agency we were working with, Independent Adoption Center, which also had us linked. In the one month we had our "Dear Birthmother" letter on our web site we were contacted by five or six birthmothers. We feel very blessed, indeed.
Best wishes,
Dinnes and Barbara
