It's clear that telling your child that they are adopted from day one is the best course of action. By doing so, you can avoid secrets and build trust, make adoption a normal part of their life, and give them the information they need to make sense of their identity.

AdoptTogether is a non-profit, crowdfunding platform that bridges the gap between families who want to adopt and the children who need loving homes. We turn crowds into communities to help bring children home to their families.

Dear Baby, You are so loved, and while I may not be present in your day to day life, you are never far from my heart. There are some days that I wonder what would have happened if I had chosen to parent you, if choosing adoption was the easy way out. But then I remember that my life hasn't always been like this.
