Meet Our Adoptive Parents

ARCS asks our adoptive parents to write a brief bio of themselves for this webpage. Some of the adoptive parents have chosen not to have their picture and names attached to their bio. This reflects their concern about privacy rather than any concern about participating in an open adoption.
