Hello, We are Elizabeth and Charlie Swing. We are currently in the process of completing our home study to adopt an infant domestically through Crisis Pregnancy Outreach in Tulsa, Oklahoma. While we have always wanted and planned to adopt as a part of our family building, we planned on having birth children first. Unfortunately, because of a medical condition, we are unable to have children without a lot of medical intervention, and after several years of unsuccessful treatment are ready to close the door on that part of our lives. While we still mourn that loss and believe we always will, we still deeply desire to parent and are ready to move forward toward adoption. We have chosen to adopt through CPO because we have a personal connection with this agency through my family's past involvement with them. We love how they offer a faith-based, holistic, lifelong, and compassionate approach to birth parents having to make difficult decisions and we love that they only offer open adoptions. We are doing our best to learn what open adoption is all about and are more and more convinced that it is the right option for us, our future child, and their birth parents. While the financial needs for our adoption are smaller than many because of the fact that CPO is an all volunteer run agency, we still do need financial help in order to pay for the various agency, home study, and travel fees associated with our adoption. Please think about helping us with these needs in any amount you are able and please check out our website in order to learn more about adoption, infertility, and our story. www.charlieandelizabeth.weebly.com
