They are supportive and very excited about being a part of open adoption!  It is very important to our family to have traditions that we share throughout each year.  Annual trips to the coast, watching 4th of July fireworks, making Thanksgiving dinner, trimming the family Christmas tree, leaving cookies for Santa, and spending Easter hiding and hunting eggs at the Biltmore House are just a few things that we share as a family.  We were raised in solid, loving, and nurturing environments and those high standards are things that we will provide for our children.  Family time is so precious to us and we look forward to every opportunity we have to spend it together as a family.
