Cherri Walrod is the Founder and Executive Director of Resources4Adoption. Cherri has successfully completed three international adoptions. For more than ten years, she has spent hundreds of hours researching financing options including grants, loans and fundraisers. She has helped others fulfill their adoption dreams, and has a thorough knowledge of the intricacies of the adoption process.

I grew up in rural southeast Kansas. My passion for adoption began as a 12-year-old girl when missionaries from Africa visited my church with their adopted daughter. This planted a seed of interest in international adoption that was watered and nurtured for 20 years.

Resources4Adoption has been a vision of mine for more than ten years.

My husband and I knew we wanted to adopt, but when I began searching for financial resources, I became frustrated by the lack of information. But we were committed and determined to make our adoption dream a reality. After literally hundreds of hours of research, countless emails, dozens of phone calls, stacks upon stacks of paperwork and an out-pour of support from friends and family, we were blessed with three wonderful adopted children.

Adoption is such a beautiful experience, and I wanted to make it more feasible and eliminate some of the stress involved, so more moms and dad could bring their children home. My goal was to create one comprehensive site so parents would not have to repeat my experience, trying to navigate through broken links and outdated information to find resources to help them (yes, there are resources that can help you!)

It took nine years of information-gathering and careful planning, but at last Resources4Adoption is here! It offers a wealth of knowledge that can only be obtained through hundreds of dedicated hours, first-hand experience and a passion for adoption.

As you venture on your adoption journey, I hope you find Resources4Adoption to be beneficial. If it helps you—if even in the slightest—bring home your son or daughter, I have succeeded. Use the information from Resources4Adoption, and never, ever lose sight of your dream. With hope, determination and the right knowledge, your adoption dreams CAN and WILL become a reality!
