Why Adoption?
We have always considered adoption. After our daughter was born, we discussed wanting to grow our family through adoption when the time was right. We continued trying to get pregnant but found out that both of us have medical conditions making it challenging for us. We had infertility issues for a few years, and we tried a few rounds of IUI, but had no success. We prayed asking God if it was the right time to adopt. After some time praying, we came across Building Blocks. We read about them and heard many good things and we decided that this was the right time. We felt that God led us to Building Blocks because this is where God wants us to be. We both wanted a big family with 3 or 4 children from the beginning. We have so much love to give to another beautiful child no matter what race the child is.
