"I have always wanted to be a parent and love children. I want to give a child love and support so they can reach their potential. My family and friends would describe me as loving, honest, nurturing and responsible. I come from a large, African family and am the sixth of seven siblings. Many of my family members live nearby, while others live in Africa. Adoption is not new to my family. I have an adopted nephew. My maternal grandfather and paternal great grandfather were also adopted. I also helped raised my nephew with special needs as a single mom when he was ages 9-11 years old. It was an honor and blessing to have been in his life at this crucial stage in his life." Please contact Everlasting Adoptions 630-364-8361 www.everlastingadoptions.com.
