Why Adoption?
Adoption has always been in the forefront of our minds. Alex’s parents had difficulty conceiving and made adoption a priority when trying to grow their family. After marrying in our early 30’s and solidifying our careers and a stable income, we carefully considered our fertility options and decided to do IVF to freeze some embryos. Unfortunately, the fertility clinic had a freezer malfunction and lost all of our embryos. Although we were heartbroken, this solidified God’s plan for us – adoption. Thankfully, we both have close family and friends who are adopted or who have had positive adoption experiences. They have been extremely supportive and look forward to spending time with our growing family. We are so excited for the opportunity to be parents and are open to children of all backgrounds.
