This picture from 1952 is me and my mother. Were it not for The Cradle, my life would be a wholly different story. Having been the product of an unwanted pregnancy, I was fortunate enough to be placed with a loving family. Now, as an adult, I can see how this institution exemplifies the highest ethical standards as they relate to adoption. I feel blessed having become associated with their good works.
My wife and I adopted both of our children from The Cradle. It was a wonderful experience. Our case worker, Barbara Gant, was fabulous. She walked us through each step, was patient and caring and did everything she could to make the placements perfect. I think she was as excited as we were when she called to tell us that Nicole, our first child, was in the nursery. The Cradle is as professional, competent and experienced as an organization can be, but at the same time is compassionate and sensitive to everyone's needs.
My husband and I adopted our son from The Cradle. Throughout the entire process, we were kept informed and up-to-date by our adoption counselor. The pre-adoption training and classes were so valuable in helping us prepare. We both felt that the Cradle is founded on integrity and a focus around doing what is best for the babies/children. Adoption is an emotional experience and The Cradle was our trusted guide every stop of the way!
