Why Adoption?
We spent the first few years of our marriage just enjoying each other and everything married life had to offer. Then we finally decided we were ready and started trying to have a baby. Unfortunately, we were not successful in getting pregnant. We knew at this point we could either look into our options medically, or we could look at adoption. With both of our personal experiences with adoption we decided to find a baby we could love. We feel so blessed and excited to begin this next chapter
in our lives.
