"Everywhere in nature we are taught the lessons of patience
and waiting. We want things a long time before we get them,
and the fact that we wanted them a long time makes them all
the more precious when they come."

-Joseph F. Smith

.our thoughts on adoption.

Why Adoption
Never, in our years of fertility treatments, had we felt as much peace, as we did when we discussed adoption. After much thought and prayer we now know that our lives will forever be changed with an adoption miracle. Even though those years were sprinkled with tears, frustration, and uncertainty, we would never change them. Our marriage is remarkably stronger and we have gained so much respect for one another during our times of great sorrow and sacrifice. When we are feeling down about our infertility struggles, we are constantly there for each other. We have felt truly blessed to have been through what we have been through, and know that we can conquer any trial that comes our way. We know that when the time is right, that Heavenly Father will bless us with a little miracle.

Open Adoption
We feel that we have been given a gift and we want nothing more than to share that gift with you. We would be honored to keep in touch with emails, blogs, photos, and birthday cards. We would love to explore the possibility of visits and are open to other suggestions as well. Your child will always know that you loved them and that they are a miracle that sprouted from the gift of adoption. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or want to get to know us even better.
