Why Adoption?
Adoption has never been an “if” question for us but “when”. After struggling with infertility, going through IVF and miscarrying our son, we knew the time to grow our family through adoption was now. As I mentioned in my “facts and favorites”, I recently learned that I was paternally adopted, and I never knew my biological father. Navigating through the discovery that I was adopted has increased my yearning to adopt even more, and I feel it will allow me to better relate and support our adopted child(ren) as they explore their own adoption story. Most of all, Scott and I have so many children in our lives that we love and enjoy spending time with, and it has proven to us that all you need is love to make a family. We want to give our future children unconditional love where it is ok to be their authentic selves, ok to express their feelings, ok to be curious, and ultimately to be true to who they are. We have been so blessed in our lives, and we cannot wait to share those blessings through adoption.
