Adoption in Our Lives
Melissa has always had a passion as a nurse to take care of medically fragile children where her presence to support the child was medically necessary. She has noted during her career that she felt more like a coparent to the child and thoroughly enjoyed that feeling. Some of her clients trusted her so much that she was asked to attend multiple family vacations with them.
Brett was exposed to the idea of adoption at a very early age as his older brother was adopted as an infant. Brett’s parents were not successful in becoming pregnant and chose to adopt to start their family. To this very day, Brett and his parents believe that he would not have been born had it not been for his brother’s calming influence on his mother.
