Why Adoption?

Through the miracles of both God and science, we had our daughter and she is everything we imagined she could be. But we also have 3 angel babies who didn’t make it, and it’s time to try things differently. We considered adoption at several points in our marriage, and for once we seem to have all the pieces lined up at the same time: having some experience now as parents, we are mentally ready; having taken our time with this decision, we are emotionally ready; having planned for this process, we are financially ready. We simply want to bring another child into our family and would welcome a child from any race (or combination of races). It would be our pleasure to learn about another race and fold that into our family’s culture and traditions so all our children will benefit and feel truly connected.
