Why Adoption?
For us, family was never about biology, it’s about the memories you make and the love you show up with every day. I (Miriam) was adopted by my stepdad at age of 9 and he gave me everything a father could give. That experience has always stayed with me and opened my heart to this path. When we talked about starting a family, adoption just felt right and our hearts were always open to it. We’re ready now, we don’t want to wait, and we dream of a big full house. Our whole family is behind us completely and we cannot
wait to get started.
