Roman Patrick

This amazing and patient couple had an excruciatingly long journey, but they were dedicated to their dream of becoming a family. They maintained the hope that one day their life would change. Soon enough, the birthparents that were meant to bless their lives forever called LifeLong with the news that they were considering placing their son Roman Patrick. Roman's birthparents were making this choice together. They had contacted LifeLong months prior and decided to parent, but soon after he was born, they made the brave decision that placing Roman with Chris and Danny would be for the best. Chris and Danny immediately traveled to meet Roman's birthparents and have enjoyed every moment of having Roman in their lives ever since. Congratulations Chris and Danny! You are evidence that good things come to those who wait!

Congratulations Danny & Chris

Ava

After a long journey, the opportunity that was intended just for Lance and Trevan arose at just the right moment! Lance and Trevan were given the last-minute opportunity to work with a selfless and strong birthmother/birthfather couple right in their home state of California. Only a short distance away from this couple was a pair of birthparents who may give them the most precious gift they could even imagine. They sat on the edge of their seats waiting to hear that it was time to go. Sweet Ava was born on June 18, 2018, and this patient couple could not have been more overjoyed. With a little help from their adoptive parent coordinator, Jenee, during the long wait and their birthmother coordinator, Nicole, during the execution of the plan, this family was made complete and we were blessed to witness another miracle of adoption.

Miles Aaron

Placed in 20 months

Timothy and Nicholas truly experienced the unique ride of adoption. In the end, they have a beautiful story to tell and we hope their courageous birthmother knows how appreciated she is by LifeLong and this couple she chose to raise her sweet son. Timothy and Nicholas had their first birthmother opportunity 14 months into their adoption journey. They were saddened when this opportunity seemingly did not work out, however, they continued to ask about her and let us know she was still in their hearts. Four months later, this strong woman called our birthmother coordinator, Nicole, to express she was still interested in placing her baby with Timothy and Nicholas. The family was quick to get to the hospital to welcome their son, Miles Aaron, on June 9. Congratulations on your new addition!

Sebastian

Placed in 3 months

Congratulations to Miles and Russell on the birth of the handsome son, Sebastian Miles! Miles and Russell were only presented two times before talking with their lovely birthmother, Ashley! After their very first phone call, everyone knew this was meant to be. Ashley was ready to take the selfless steps towards placing her baby with Miles and Russell. In February, their Adoptive Parent Coordinator, Melinda, joyously connected them with Ashley. The parents-to-be had less than three months to develop a relationship with Ashley, and she with them. However, their connection was strong, and by the time April rolled around, everyone was prepared for the birth of this sweet little boy. We are so thankful for the altruistic mother that blessed Miles and Russell with this child. We here at LifeLong could not be more thrilled with this happily ever after!

Congratulations Miles & Russell
