Dear Spring Creek, On November 7, 2002,
Just two months and three weeks ago, I brought my first-born child to your facility. We flew in from Chicago, Spent the night in a local motel, and drove him to you at 11:00am. Giving him up to you, holding him in my arms to say goodbye, and then turning away, walking out the door, and driving off was without a doubt the most significantly, painful experience I have ever had in my life, yet in that moment of deep pain and despair, I knew it was also the most profound, empowering moment of my life.
I am out to save my child's life and you have provided the vehicle though which I can accomplish my intention. My experience of gratitude towards you and your staff is so huge, it seems impossible. My child is safe. My child is completely surrounded by a staff that cares deeply, so deeply in fact they spend says of just "hanging out" or having meaningful conversations with my child. I fully acknowledge that both our son's and our families' journey will be filled with many challenges and will indeed be on going, yet you have brought a grand new sense of hope into our families life. We simply cannot wait to experience, as a whole united family, the extreme joys to come. Yours in deep gratitude, Megan A.
