Why Adoption?
Adoption has always been part of our story. Even before we were married and long before we discovered our infertility, we felt drawn to the idea of growing our family through adoption. It was never a second option. It was something we genuinely desired.
After marriage, we faced infertility and completed one round of IVF. While we still hold hope for the future, we knew we did not want to wait to begin our family. Our desire to love and raise a child outweighed everything else, and adoption felt like the beautiful next step.
Welcoming Ameen confirmed what we already believed: family is built on love, intention, and commitment. Adoption reflects our faith and values, and we are honored to open our hearts and home again. We are ready to provide a safe, stable, and deeply loving environment where a child can grow, thrive, and always feel chosen.
