"Reflections" typically comes out at the end of each month but we know how busy December is so we thought we would send this issue out a little early. We hope you are able to take advantage of some of the special offers that we have this month and we will go back to our regular schedule in 2022. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! In this month's "Reflections": |

December is a busy month so we want to make sure you are aware of our special hours on a few days as we will be closed for various events. Regular office hours on all other days are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Thursday and 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Friday. Our office will be closed for the Christmas break from December 24-January 2 so please make sure any end of year donations are postmarked no later than December 31st to be counted as a charitable gift for 2021. Of course, you can also donate online to ensure that your gift is counted for this year. As always, our 24 hour pregnancy help line for expectant mothers is available at (405) 397-3140 |

It was a fascinating look at a new option for people who have pursued in vitro fertilization or are interested in alternatives to traditional adoption.
