We wanted to share our thoughts on adoption with you and why we are hoping to adopt and what it means to us.
We got married almost 8 years ago and like most couples assumed that we would have children. We will have children, but not the traditional way. We had some ups and downs with our thoughts and feelings on the situation but came to the idea of adoption relatively quickly and easily. We did not do too much medical testing and did no invasive procedures to make the idea of us conceiving and carrying a baby happen. We felt that the Lord had a plan for us and that plan included adoption.
Since the times of us trying to have a baby have passed we can't imagine it at all. We only see adoption in our future and feel blessed that we have this opportunity and chance that not everyone does. We look forward to the day that we are able to bring a little one home and help complete our family. We know that this is the path that we are suppose to be on.
We also are so grateful for our families and their support and love through all of this. They did not know much about the struggles before but now know and feel the same way we do. They want us to be happy and see that adoption is what makes us happy. They can't wait for a new grandchild and also a new cousin, niece or nephew to join the family. I think they are more impatient then us!
We know there is a reason that our lives are connecting and that we are all at this point at the same time. We know that we are meant to bring home a baby that needs us. We know that somewhere out there there is a someone who is sending out a prayer and we hope we can be the answer. Adoption is a miracle in all ways. It is a benefit to so many people and it helps out so many lives and we can't wait to see it work it magic in ours!

We are so excited to share a little bit about our family and really have you get to know who we are and why we are adopting. We hope you will get a picture of the kind of people we are and the parents we are as well. We are thankful for every experience that we have together, and we look forward to sharing new experiences with our growing family.

There once was a boy who came down to the earth,
his parents were happy the day of his birth
their second child, he was a little man
a cute, chubby boy, they named him Dan.
There once was a girl who was sent to the earth,
her parents were joyous the day of her birth
their very first girl, she had them starrin’,
big brown eyes, her name was Aranne.
Well these two grew up never knowing each other,
but one day they met and liked one another
Their friendship grew strong and what did they do?
Yep, they got hitched in Feb of '02!
First thing was first and they felt they should be,
adding some kids to their family tree.
They prayed and prayed and did all they should,
they were patient and willing to be extra good.
But their children weren't coming
and they weren't sure why,
so they went to the experts for options to try.
When none of the options were going their way,
the next thing to do was to kneel down and pray.
They weren't quite sure at this point what to do,
so Father in Heaven showed a new path to view.
He helped them to know there are different ways,
to add to your family in these latter days.
Out there somewhere there's a baby to love,
sent to a mother from heaven above.
That mother realizes her baby needs more,
taking care of a child by herself is a chore.
How great the birth mom to give up so much,
she'll know that the path you have taken is tough.
She'll know that you've wanted a child for so long,
she'll feel you're the right ones when you come along.
Although it is different to have a family this way,
when our child comes along, it will be the best day.
We'll look at our child and we will see,
this baby was meant for our family.
Couples are chosen, hand-picked by Him,
that can handle these trials that are given to them.
We never expected that we'd take this path,
but we're be glad we did and we'll never look back.
How excited and grateful that we will be,
to be able to add to our family.
The blessing of having a baby to love,
comes straight from heaven way up above.
Nothing else will matter, you will see,
except that there's love in our family.
And all those who know us will surely agree,
we'll give nothing but love to our new baby!
