Why Adoption?

Having both grown up in large families, we always dreamed of having a large family ourselves. However, after the birth of our daughter, we have struggled to have more children, with three consecutive miscarriages in the space of 18 months. The physical and emotional pain from these miscarriages leave us hesitant to attempt another pregnancy at this time. At the same time, we feel that God is calling us to grow our little family, and our daughter is definitely ready and excited to be a big sister.
