Review for The Education Partnership, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
I have been hearing about the unfolding of this organization for several years. The vision of a few ppl to help the teachers of our city and therefore help the children of our city has been a wonderful journey to watch. The doors are to officially open next week and finally start offering this gift to our teachers who on a daily basis give many gifts to their students. Today I volunteered. While I was there, there were many different ppl with many different backgrounds, all with a common goal.... to help this organization help others. What a wonderful way to come together as a community, to help our community!

Review for Genesis of Pittsburgh Inc., Pittsburgh, PA, USA
I have been watching the blessings that Genesis bestows for the last 16 yrs as I have been watching our dear friends' children grow....adopted thru Genesis. It became completely personal 5 1/2 yrs ago when my family was given the incredible honor of being foster parents for Genesis which normally is about a 1 - 2 week commitment at birth. Without going into too much detail, 2 wks became 2 1/2 mos and at that time our "foster" child went to live with the birth mom for about 1 1/2 mos. She asked us to babysit for the weekend after that and our child has never left our home since then. A sweet young woman gave birth to our child, but due to drug addictions, lack of positive role models, and no self esteem; she was in no position to keep . She made the most brave and unselfish decision that I could possibly imagine. .... She told Genesis that she would put the baby up for adoption if "we" .... or family... would adopt this beautiful baby. This was not our initial plan for the next phase of our life with 4 older children already, but oh boy ! God has such a better plan for our lives than we could possibly imagine. He put this wonderful gift of another child in our lives.... you cannot convince me His plan was not this since the beginning of time. My thanks , my respect , my love, for Genesis is impossible for me to put into writing, but our story says it all.

I truly cannot think of anything I would change about Genesis of Pgh. The vision of Carol and Nancy is amazing.
