Completing the nest

The Logan Family Adoption Story

"A lot of people don’t move forward with adoption because it is so expensive but I want people to know that there are options out there. If you own a home, and you have equity in it, that is a real way to be able to finance your adoption." - Lesley Logan, Member since 2014

WATCH THEIR STORY

Ken and Lesley's dream came true when they used their home's equity to assist with the adoption of their daughter, Jeanie.

THE JOURNEY TO A FAMILY OF 5

THE OPTION FOR ADOPTION

After the birth of their twins, Ken and Lesley Logan cherished every moment of being new parents. However, Lesley knew in her heart that their family was not quite complete. The idea of adoption was something the couple had discussed early on in their relationship—but the expenses were daunting. The couple turned to Members 1st to explore their options and learned they could utilize their home's equity to make this dream possible.

A LIFE-CHANGING CALL

Ready to become a family of five, Ken and Lesley submitted their application to the Adoptions From The Heart agency. Nine months later, they received the call that changed their lives—they had been selected to be the parents of a newborn baby girl.

CELEBRATING EACH STEP

From the moment they discovered they were chosen, Ken and Lesley could not wait to finalize the adoption. There were many milestones to conquer, but each time they completed another step they celebrated knowing they were closer to calling Jeanie their own. 

WELCOME HOME, JEANIE

The months of anticipation were worth the wait. Jeanette Logan was officially made a part of the Logan family and is adored by her mother, father and big sisters.
