Testimonials

"Genesis' mission is simple but powerful... I can attest to this, as Genesis not only supported my parents and me through the adoption process but my birth mother as well. I had the opportunity to meet her about two years ago, and she explained how much support she received. From being provided with a safe place to stay to receiving clothing and counseling, Genesis made her feel loved. My adoption didn't just impact my family- it changed the world around me. I am living proof of the incredible work Genesis does, and I know that with continued funding, they can change even more lives. "-Charlotte, Adoptee

"My baby saved my life, and without Genesis, I wouldn't have him. "-Jen, past resident
