We adopted our son Matthew* through Coram after struggling to start our family for five years due to infertility. Back in the Spring/Summer of 2016, we had visited several other agencies and Local Authorities information sessions about adoption but none had sat right with us. When we first visited Coram, we both had a gut feeling that they were the right agency for us.
During the adoption process, Coram were a huge support. We always felt like they were on our side, eager for us to get the outcome we so desired. When we did, we felt like they were as happy for us as members of our own family were. Since then, Coram have continued to support our family, point us in the right direction and give advice as well as put us in touch with other adopters.
“To those of you who support the work of Coram... ‘thank you’ just doesn’t seem to do it justice. Coram has immeasurably changed our lives for the better by completing our family and for that I will be forever grateful.”
