We have an announcement to make! Alan and I have decided to adopt! We are in a situation where we could financially handle a baby, and it truly feels like the next step in our family. We have been blessed to have many wonderful examples of adoption in our lives, and are thrilled at the idea of finally becoming parents.
We know that the journey will be hard and may take some time, but we know without a doubt it will be worth it. Despite all the love and joy we have had as a couple, children have always been the missing factor - the thing that truly makes a family. Complications have prevented us from having children, and we are thrilled to have this option available to us.
Right now we are in the process of getting signed up with LDS family services, and are also contacting Utah Foster Care to become Certified Foster parents. We would prefer a child under the age of two, and would love a child of either gender. At this point we are open to all options, and are working on getting our paperwork completed to qualify for international as well as national adoptions.
Even with all of the options we are pursuing right now, we know that all of you will be out greatest asset. The most successful adoptions are via word of mouth, and we hope that if you hear of someone considering adoption, that you will think of us. Additionally, if you have had any experience with adoption, we would love your advice
We are so incredibly excited for this opportunity, and cannot wait to welcome a little boy or girl into our home and hearts!
We have started an adoption blog here. I haven't finished all of our bios and such, but this is the address for it:
