An introduction.
We are Jason and Mary Lief. We write this blog with the intent to help others on their road to adoption and hopefully help answer some of the same questions we once had. Not long ago we decided to embark on this life long journey that has changed our lives in a way we never thought possible. Through-out this website you will have the opportunity to experience what we have experienced, first hand. From the blog to our detailed timeline and photos, we hope to share our journey with others, and educate those interested in adoption. We won't pretend to be experts about adoption or the lengthy process that comes with it, but we will share information that we found to be helpful along the way, and we will share our personal stories that turned a dream into a reality. When we first started this process we were beyond overwhelmed and had not the slightest clue of where to begin. After days and weeks of research we began to realize the undertaking that we were about to pursue. If you've come here for educational purposes and the intent to adopt, we encourage you to browse through the Adoption Terminology and Information tab as you will want to familiarize yourself with some of the terms that you will start to hear and use. There are also links that you will find helpful such as finding Hague Accredited adoption agencies, USCIS information, etc. Over time we will do our best to update that section with useful websites and links that we found helpful in our journey. Although we have learned a great deal about adoption and the process, we realize that adoption is a lifelong educational path and we cannot wait to see what is around the next corner. We hope that you enjoy our stories and experiences and hope to give some insight to those interested in this rewarding journey.
