"It brings me so much happiness that others will have a chance at being able to have cute little babies of their own. It just makes you feel so complete"
The honor of helping create families
Rachael Dupuis, RSC third-party case manager, said that the best aspect of her position is seeing the final results. “A lot of times, they’ll bring their babies in or show us pictures, and I think that that’s why we do it, to see people make their dreams of having a family come true,” she said.
“The most rewarding part is getting the pictures about nine or ten months later after working with someone for a year or two years, and seeing the end result, which is a family. It’s a huge honor to be a part of being able to create families for people.”
