Meant for Each Other

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, the phrase “Meant for each other” seems to be everywhere. It is written on crunchy candy hearts, on cards, and on other Valentine’s Day merchandise. But at Adoption Associates, Inc., this phrase is one that we not only notice around Valentine’s Day, but one that we hear year-round. It is what adoptive families almost always say when the baby they have been waiting for is finally placed in their arms, or when a family meets a child on the other side of the world who, although separated by time and distance, was undoubtedly meant to be theirs.
