When Melissa and Robert watch their daughter Jacquie play “mommy” with her doll, they think back to how they became parents. They first looked into adoption in March of 2012, and did what most people do and turned to the familiar. “My beehive advisor from church worked in adoption so we started our adoption journey there.” said Melissa. “We did not do much research into all the other adoption options out there. As for costs, we just figured we would find a way to afford it.”
