A personal note from Glenn:
“I see our adoption services as a ministry, and I desire to serve God in this capacity. I am a member of the Christian Legal Society. As a longtime active member of East Cooper Baptist Church in Mt. Pleasant—along with my late wife, Jane—I have served as a deacon, a teacher and on many committees. We have two wonderful sons, both of whom have seminary degrees and lovely, Godly wives. We presently have eight fantastic grandchildren.”
