If I know one thing, it is this: each of us has something to share with others. It may be knowledge. It may be a skill. It may be something material. My hope is that anyone conducting their own search, or anyone who wants to learn about adoption, will see there is a need for volunteers.

You can help fill that need. You don't know how you might be able to help until you step up to the plate and offer. Do it today!
