Why Adoption?
We are not able to have children naturally and researched both adoption and fertility treatments. When speaking with the fertility specialist, he made a comment that really hit home for us. He shared: “When you have a snotty nosed child running to you for a tissue, it doesn’t matter where they came from, that’s your child to take care of.” At that moment, we knew we wanted to pursue adoption. From the very beginning of this journey we agreed that having a child would not define who we already are as a family, but would allow us to share our love with others. Every piece of who we are dreams of being a parent and we both know that “parent” can take on many roles. If parenting for us isn’t through adoption, we will embrace that role with pride and humility. That said, we are hopeful, and prayerful, to be chosen as adoptive parents and have an opportunity to grow our family within our own home.
