I am an adoptive father of two beautiful children with my partner Scott. Even though I retain my professional dj name as David Knapp, we are the Bellknapp family. Scott and I made our adoptive journey through open adoption. Despite several adoption horror stories in the news over the years, open adoption is much easier and less costly ($10,000 federal tax credit) than anybody thinks. The biggest key to matching with a birthmother is to be sincere, supportive, detailed about your goals/interests, and open throughout the process.
