Frequently Asked Questions

Hi! We’re Ben and Sarah!  We’ve been married a wonderful 5 1/2 years, and are so excited for our family to grow.  We haven’t been able to have our own babies, so we want to adopt!

Let me tell you a little bit about designated adoption.

Designated adoption is when an adoptive couple and birth parents find each other through a third party.  This is where we need everybody’s help!  We need you to please think of us if you know anybody who is considering placing their child. Feel free to tell the birthparent(s) about us.  You can share any non-identifying information such as first names, personality traits, talents, hobbies, interests, goals, education and involvement with extended family.  Please pass along the address for this blog (sarahandbenblog.wordpress.com), and any other contact information on our “contact us” page.  They can also follow us on Twitter!  SarahandBenfam

Hopefully soon we’ll have pass along cards to hand out.  These are business cards with our information on them that you can hand out to anybody.   http://westvalleyfsa.blogspot.com has a list of ways to get those cards out:

  • Slip one in any letter or bill that you send out
  • Holiday cards: New Years, Valentine’s, Fourth of July
  • Hang them up where’er you go: grocery stores, apartment complexes, car washes, community bulletin boards, etc.
  • Keep them handy in your wallet or purse.
  • Ask trusted family and friends to share them as well.
  • Leave a pass along card with your bill at restaurants.
  • If you see a “business card” drop box, drop one in.
  • If someone asks about your family, pull out a “family photo” conveniently disguised as a pass along card and leave it with them. Perfect opportunity to talk about your desire to adopt.
  • Don’t be afraid, even if you don’t feel comfortable sharing your own story, share the agency cards!
  • Email Pass Along Card to everyone in your address book, ask to forward it on!

We’re tying to get some cards designed that everybody can pass out.  Keep checking our blog/twitter/facebook for updates!!!
