After completing a long process as quickly as possible, Brandon and I have been
APPROVED for adoption through LDS Family Services. We are honestly very excited about growing our little family through adoption.
To be completely honest, after Talon was born, we were advised that the reaccurance rates for pre-eclampsia and a premature baby were very, very high, and after a lot of thought and a ton of prayer, we feel that it is best for our family to adopt beautiful little babies at this time. We joke that we have two strikes against us - Strike 1: it is very challenging for us to become pregnant due to infertility issues AND Strike 2: it is very dangerous for us to stay pregnant due to pre-eclampsia complications. In our minds, that should amount to some sort of bonus point or something :)!
Since becoming approved for adoption, we have felt such peace and hope. We are happy to be starting a new chapter in our life, and we have our fingers crossed that we will be welcoming a new little one into our life soon.
To our dear friends and family who have already done so much for us, we ask that you share our message with essentially everyone you know and even people you don't know - that's not asking much, right :)? We feel so grateful for your love and support throughout the last few months of our life. We would have never made it without you! We hope that with your help, we will be able to spread our message of adoption. Many of the adoptions finalized through LDS Family Services are situations in which a friend, family member, Bishop, Relief Society President, etc... knows of a family who is looking for a child to join their family through adoption. Please, please, please help us get our message to the masses!
If you have any questions for us, or if you are looking for more ways to help, please contact us at our new email address:
