Each adoption experience is unique in its’s own way. We believe that there is a place for all stories – those that are uplifting, and even those that have left some bewildered and confused.

Our goal with this project is to give real insights into what adoption is like from all points of view (birth parent, adoptive parent and adoptee), helping everyone involved feel less alone in their journey. We want to break down stereotypes, raise awareness, and inspire others to who are thinking about placing or adopting a child.

The following are real-life experiences shared first-hand or through the project’s founder, Richard Pearlman.
