Jerome, Tanya and Austin Thomas	African American and Interracial Families Wait Just Four Months "After a year of waiting to adopt, someone told us about Pact. We were uncertain about working with an organization that wasn't local. But we were there for Austin's birth only two months later. We really believe in this organization!"
Single Adults and Couples of All Ages and Religions Can Adopt "Though I'm single, I've always wanted a child. I also know how much our children need love and support. When I heard Nia's birth mother's story, with her struggling already to parent one child and trying to do the right thing, I felt so grateful. Nia is the son I've always dreamed of."	Deidre McCalla and Nia
Marisa, Teri and Mark Williams	Pact Fees Are on a Sliding Scale Based on Income "We believe God wanted us to be parents. When the doctor said it wouldn't happen, we applied to the state to adopt. Two years later we heard about Pact. Fees worried us, but Pact worked out a manageable budget. Marisa came home one month later."
Love And Commitment Make A Family "It is love and commitment to the African American community that made us adopt, even though we could have more birth children. We wanted healthy kids who fit into our family. When Dionne and Corin came home, there was no question that they are our daughters."	The Galloway Family
