Thank you so much for brining our beautiful daughter, Averie into our lives. She is is such a happy, sweet and beautiful little girl, both inside and out. We are very blessed to have had such a wonderful adoption journey with Dove. You have a wonderful staff that was extremely supportive and patient. Our family feels so perfectly complete now that Averie is home with us.
Fadeela is developing normally. She runs, plays, laughs, skips and shows affection toward people she loves. She is a joy to our family and a gift from God. We are fortunate to have her as our child.
Lydia gets along well with her siblings and friends. She is obedient and a very helpful girl.

We can't thank you enough for everything you have done. Eliyas and Lilah are doing great. They are getting stronger every day. They love to play and have the cutest laughs.
Adoption has changed our lives. We are a complete family now and could not love our children any more!
Thank you Dove for making our family complete. Annie Rose is such a wonderful baby and the joy of our life. We felt so blessed to have you there with us each step of the process. Thank you for the amazing work you do for the families. Annie Rose is growing up so fast. She is walking all over and loves to chase her big brother. Words can never express how thankful we are to all of you for helping us bring Annie Rose home.
Elena is easy-going and has many friends. She loves to snowboard and run cross-country. She is doing well in school and we love to do things as a family.
The adoption of our 3 girls over the past 7 years has been a life changing experience for all of us. We adore our girls, Vica 14, Laura 9, and Zoe 8. Thanks to all of you!
Zachary (left) and Anthony (right) are very busy boys. They love to swim, color, be read to, and play with balls and trucks. They are talking in complete sentences and are learning new words daily. We can't imagine our family without them and their immediate and extended family dearly loves them. We feel so blessed to be their parents.
Roman loved gathering Easter eggs at Grandpa and Grandma's house! He is a bundle of energy and keeps us laughing all day long!
Her presence in our home is a blessing. People often comment on how "lucky" she is, but we have to confess that we needed her much more than she needed us.
It's been a joy and an adventure having Samuel as our son. He is a very affectionate boy and is careful to be gentle with his new baby brother. He laughs loudly and smiles brightly. We love to share with others how Samuel became a part of our family and hope to be a positive example to inspire others to consider adoption.
The minute we met Amelie, she felt like she'd been ours forever. At first, she was quiet and reserved. A few hours later, she was her true self: loud and wild! I've never met a happier child - she truly lights up every room she crawls into. Adopting Amelie was the best decision we ever made. We adore her country, we were stunned with the quality of care she received at Tourkoul, and we are completely satisfied with Dove. We love this little girl with every fiber of our being, and we're so lucky to have her in our lives.
What a journey to our little boy! To say that Dove has been a wonderful agency to work with is an understatement. We felt taken care of every step of the way. Ayana is a happy, curious boy who loves attention and loves to laugh. We cannot imagine life without Ayana now. He is the wonderful addition to our family we have been praying for.
We feel so blessed! Our lives are forever changed by the experiences we have shared on this journey. We feel so grateful for the many people that helped us along the way. The staff at the guest house was excellent and always eager to offer help. Now that we are together all the highs and lows feel worth it. Cedrick is such a wonderful, sweet, loving, cuddly, happy, and adorable baby. Thank you, Dove, for helping us be united with our son.
We are thrilled with the addition of Ella and Caleb to our family. Thank you Dove for all you have done to help our family add these precious two. We are eternally grateful and hugely blessed by them and the entire experience of adopting.
Thank you Dove. Our family now feels complete. Sasha and Sergey have been so much fun. The adoption process was quite the adventure--but every step was worth it!
Our little Addison is a very happy little girl. She loves her brothers and sisters and they dote on her all the time. She is the little princess of our family. Thank you for helping us bring our darling home.
We are so happy to welcome Getnet (left) and Fana (right) into our family. Getnet is a bundle of energy. He enjoys all sports--from soccer to T-ball to swimming. He keeps us laughing from morning to evening and is such a fun kid! Fana is a beautiful girl who loves to help her mommy and loves to play with her brothers and sisters. Fana brings a joy to our home that is indescribable.
Kaia has been the deepest gift to my life. I arrived home with her on my 35th birthday and no one bought me any presents because they knew - she was it
We can't believe that Levi has been home for over 2 years now! He is a smart, very loving little guy. Here he is celebrating his brother's birthday - cowboy style.
