Happy Birthday Charlie!!

As many of you may know, we adopted our daughter, Charlie Lorraine, through the Gladney Center for Adoption in October, 2012. The experience changed our lives in the best way possible. We now know that our previous struggles to start our family were because we simply needed to wait for Charlie.

We can never repay what Gladney has made possible for us. But we'd like to try. In lieu of birthday gifts, we would like folks to consider making a donation to the Gladney Center in honor of our little girl, Charlie. Our goal is to raise at least $2500. Every penny of this money will go to support programs for the girls and birth moms who live in the Gladney dorm. Charlie's birthmother lived in the dorm for nearly her entire pregnancy, and we are so grateful for all the support and resources available to these brave women.

So instead of gifts, will you please join us in supporting the agency that made us a family by helping us raise $2500 for programs that encourage healthy pregnancies and futures for Gladney birthmoms and babies?

Thank you so much for being a part of this wonderful celebration of Charlie's life and helping to support a cause that means the world to our family!

Love,
