Why Adoption?

We are so excited to start a family and adoption is the path we know is right for us. We’ve tried to conceive for some time but have been unable to. Rather than trying fertility treatments, we chose adoption because it is more meaningful to us. Hilary has a close friend who was adopted which has given us a greater understanding and appreciation of the adoption journey and how it can positively impact a child.
