Hi!  We appreciate your taking the time to meet our family.  Christine is a stay-at-home Mom whose favorite noise is a child’s belly laughter. Jeff works in commercial real estate, but his favorite time of day is coming home to play with our son Alex, who we adopted with the help of the Cradle.   Alex is one and a half, and he’s into everything.  But our family is not nearly complete, and we are hoping to expand our family again through open adoption.  We know that open adoption can mean happy endings, but we also understand how difficult this choice is for you. We admire the courage and love that it takes for you to consider adoption.
