Dave & Bobbie
SEEKING A BIRTH MOTHER IN CALIFORNIA OR MINNESOTA
We’re grateful you’re considering adoption and if you decide it’s the right decision, we hope you consider us. There’s no way to fully understand your situation, but we know how hard it is to give up a child!
After years of unsuccessfully trying to have a baby, we’ve decided to adopt. Recently we adopted, but the birthmother had a change of heart and took the baby back. It was devastating, but although our journey has been challenging and painful, we are not giving up on our dreams.
Call, email or visit our website to ask any questions @ 218.269.2910, davebobbie777@gmail.com, dbadoptiondream.org
Love Dave & Bobbie |
