The Bluest Eyes I Have Ever Seen

By Jenn W

My husband, Gregg, and I came to adoption in August, 2004. We had just had our second miscarriage after losing a full term baby girl the year before. The decision to adopt, though not made lightly, was an easy one. We requested information from many different agencies, but after attending a WHFC info session and talking to a coworker who had used the agency years before, the decision to choose Wide Horizons was easy-it just felt right….

I like to be around kids. I like to help out kids. I am a children's person. I could be connected to this organization because I love kids. It saddens me every time I see a child in the television and for them not having anything to eat and also them wanting to get adopted by a person. If it was to me I would adopt them all but I know it will be hard to get custody of all kids in need. There are little kids that are all alone and they lost their parents and they do not have anybody to take care of them and that is so sad because there is nobody to watch over them. I want to be the person that will help them out in mostly everything they might need. One thing that I think I can change is to give them something to eat because every time I see the television commercial the kids are always trying to find food in the trash can and they sometimes eat something that is rotten. And I think they should have food to eat. That is one thing that I will try to contribute as my part. Also given them the education they need. Because everyone needs to have an education. Without an education it will be hard for someone to become something in this world. I would like to aggrandize this organization and any others that are just like this organization. That is why I think I make a great connection with this organization.
