Olivia's Story

This is the story of Olivia Marie Siebels' adoption: how Paul and Constance Siebels decided to adopt a beautiful little girl, the process we went through, and the happy event itself. It is a story of love, paperwork, perseverance, surprises, successes, and above all, God's blessings. It does not include a detailed procedure for everyone who is adopting, nor does it describe all the activities that every adopting family will go through, since each adoption is different and probably unique. But it does describe what we went through, so it can be seen as an example of what the adoption process involves, for those who are considering adoption, and as a reminder of the joys and frustrations involved, for those who have already adopted.
