Why Adoption?
We’ve talked about and wanted to adopt children since early in our relationship, even before we got married! Although we did not expect to welcome our first child through adoption because of infertility and pregnancy loss, we’ve dreamed a long time about welcoming children into our family through adoption and providing an affectionate and secure home. We look forward to adopting and have an abundance of love to share! Thank you for your courageous step toward adoption and for considering our family!
