Stories of Hope

Nurturing Families

Toledo couple grateful birth mothers chose life.

Like most parents, John and Amy Schnorberger, of Sylvania, are grateful to God for the gift of her children. But their gratitude is also directed toward specific human beings – the birth mothers of Katy, 7, and Drew, 5.

“To us, these birth families are heroes. They did what was best for the children, and not necessarily what was easiest for them at the time.

“At our house on Mother’s Day, these women are very much honored. It means so much when they tell us, ‘Every time we see you with these kids, we know we did what was best for them.’

“And we’re grateful to Catholic Charities for helping us become the family we are.”
