Everyday, I think she can’t be more precious than she already is, and everyday I am wrong! She is such an absolute joy. Some days, I think my heart just might pop with love for her. I can’t begin to imagine life without her now. Anytime I go into another room in the house, Della will yell MAMA! That is the sweetest word to hear coming out of her little mouth—I melt every time”.

~Jill and Ricky Evans, proud parents of Della Rose-Li Evans, born in China

Bryan and I continue to be amazed that God has given us the wonderful and precious gift of our son, Nicholas.  Every day in a multitude of ways, Nicholas fascinates, delights, and entertains us.  He is a charming and precious little boy.

Adopting Daniel has been a wonderful experience.  Adding him to our family has brought more joy than we could have ever imagined.  Our advice would be to anyone thinking about adoption to move ahead, informed, but realizing the huge impact you could make in the life of a child, but also what a huge impact the child will make in your lives.
-Robby and Camille Guthrie

We are absolutely convinced that we are the luckiest couple on earth, and we are so very thankful to have found Owen; it is hard to imagine that such a perfect match between parents and child could happen by chance.  We finally feel that our family is complete and we are grateful to all of the people who played a part in making it happen.

Adoption has been such a wonderful experience. My two children who were adopted are beautiful, bright, healthy and happy!  Every day is a new adventure with them and I couldn't be happier.  Thanks to WORLDWIDE for their support in creating our family.

No one could have told us how much happier and fuller our lives would be before we adopted our Cody.  He is truly the joy of our hearts.  He has allowed us to see a flower opening and blooming ~ and my, what a beautiful blossom we have!  We are so thankful to WORLDWIDE for helping make our son a reality.

My wonderful daughter is such a delight. I have been amazed at her sense of humor at such a young age and her sweet, loving personality. My heart melts every time she raises her arms to me and says "mama." Lia is the most precious gift from God I could ever hope for, and she is truly the joy of my life.

This has been a truly wonderful experience. Watching this little girl bloom has filled our hearts. She is truly a gift from God and we are so lucky.

Our daughter is truly a blessing to us! She has shown us a capacity of love that we did not know existed. She is healthy, intelligent and absolutely gorgeous! We have so much fun together! Her laughter is more beautiful than any music ever composed. People tell us that she is very lucky we adopted her, but we know the lucky ones' are us, her parents!

Building a family through adoption is a real blessing and the answer to our prayers. We worked diligently with the Worldwide staff to bring Philip home. Worldwide made finding Philip possible and we will always be grateful for the tireless efforts put in by the Worldwide staff.
