International Adoptions


Today is the last day of National Adoption Month and we are closing the month talking about international adoptions. Although celebrities like Madonna, and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's international adoptions have gotten a lot of attention, the story of Bryson and Emily Vogeltanz is no less compelling.  The Vogeltanzs said that their faith was the catalyst in them choosing to adopt a daughter from Ethiopia. 

You can view their story by clicking here.  To see the other wonderful stories featured during National Adoption Month, see below or go to the WOMEN AT LIBERTY website.

Stories of Adoption...National Adoption Month 2011



November is National Adoption Month. Through out the month, we have been sharing special adoption stories via the Women History Makers-DC, MD, & VA Facebook page and WOMEN AT LIBERTY website. This past March during Women's History Month, when the Women History Makers-DC, MD, & VA program was debuted, a special guest blog entitled, "Women Helping In Creating New Families", written by Dr. Sonya Ramsey, talked about two women-owned adoption agencies making a difference in their communities. Today we are happy to present adoption stories from Another Choice For Black Children of North Carolina, founded by Ruth Amerson and Adoptions Together, founded Janice Goldwater. These women are women history makers and we celebrate and applaud them for their work.

I promise you are going to love the stories of Tommy Lee and Sharon Hayes-Brown (featured on the Discovery Health Channel) and also the foster child we will call DeShaun. To view and read the stories,
