Why Adoption?
Adoption is a big part of our family with our son, Ryan, his brother, and cousins being adopted. Our plan was to adopt and have biological children. However, since trying to have biological children, Holly was diagnosed with PCOS and endometriosis, had five miscarriages, and multiple failed fertility treatments. We are thankful with the way life has taken us, as we arrived at our journey of adoption sooner than expected.
We have always wanted a large, loving family. Adopting our son is the best thing that ever happened to us and we want to continue to grow our family through adoption. We are so happy that he has two families that love him so much, his birth family and his adoptive family. Our son is waiting desperately to be a brother to a sibling he can play with and love.
