Spread the Word Online
Here's a real email from a couple whom we helped spread the word online:
"...we are matched with a birthmother due to you. We can't thank you enough. I registered on Friday, March 30th. We were added to [a major search engine] on Tuesday, April 3th. Our birthmother found us and contacted us Friday, April 5th. She keeps telling us that we blessed her, that we took 100 lbs off her shoulders. WE were the ones blessed. We would not be where we are now if it hadn't been for YOUR help. Bless you, bless you."
