Our Journey: The Basics
Kevin, Abby and Lexi Hendricks began our adoption process in the summer of 2007. On March 18, 2009, Abby and Kevin traveled to Ethiopia to bring Milo home. Milo was born in October 2008 and is a tiny, content little guy. We're beyond excited to welcome him into our family. We finalized our adoption in October 2009.
We adopted through Children's Home Society and Family Services, one of the largest and oldest adoption agencies in the country. The process can take 1-2 years (18 months for us) and can cost upwards of $25,000.
Thank you.
Well over 100 families and friends have helped us through this process in some way. We couldn't have done it with out you. Thank you.
