My husband and I are completely and utterly thrilled to begin the adoption process. We have decided to independently adopt and if a baby comes to us we know it was meant to be.

While everyone would love to do a private adoption and go through an agency the prices for our family are unfortunately unattainable. We have been saving and can financially support a second child but upwards of tens of thousands is just too much unfortunately.

After struggling for years with infertility, and now moving forward with a hysterectomy due to endometriosis we realized that having a second child was never about being pregnant but adding more love to our family.

Even though it may takes years to find someone independently we are looking forward to giving our family a little one to live and adore!

We set up a Facebook page for potential birth mothers and family and friends support if anyone would check it out. It would mean the world to us.

I’ll also attach our bio’s because I am super proud of them!
