Jaelynn's Adoption Fund

My wife and I were married in Dec. of 2002 at a very young age (I was 18 and she was 20) fresh into the military (U.S.A.F) and no idea what we were doing. My first duty station was at Seymour Johnson A.F.B in Goldsboro, NC. Now as a young couple you never really talk about having an issue with having kids, it is just sort of assumed that one day you will and that is that. Well after a few years of marriage we decided it was our time to start having kids....... But apparently God had a different plan and time for us (Why cant He ever work on our timeframes..... This was sarcasm if it was not picked up on) After some time we decided we needed to see some doctors and find out what the issue was, so we visited some specialists and doctors and the same results were always given, "There is nothing noticably wrong with either of you." So then what was the issue!! After 2 years of visits, tests and probes a minor surgery was scheduled to visually inspect my wife and see what the issue was. Well the procedure went well and then the doctors tell us what they saw....... Nothing, absolutely nothing was found. So we had slowly started to feel that it was just not in God's plan for us to have our own children, and we would search other options, then bam until nearly 3 years and my wife was Preganant!! I remember when she told me, I had just returned from a short temporoary duty to Vegas over 4th of July weekend in 2007 in preperations for our Septemeber deployment to Afghanistan. It was the most amazing feeling i have ever felt. It had finally come true that we were going to have the kids we have always prayed for. So i left for Afghanistan in September with my pregant wife at home (what a double kicker that was, plus it was over all the holiday weekends!!) and returned in early Feburuary, our son Eden was born on Feburary 10th 2008 just a week or so after my return (thankfully our extenstion did not happen) and it was the most surreal thing that has ever happened to me, to watch my son being born and the entire labor process is just truly ah inspiring. Well i seperated from the military shortly there after and we moved back to Arizona, i found a new job and things were transitioning well, so we decided we wanted to try for another kid, well this was about 4 some years ago, and we have had the same thing happen again, doctors and specialists all saying the same thing, there is nothing wrong so having kids should not be an issue, well here we are 4 years later. So over these last 4 years our family has been praying (including our son, it is so wonderful to hear him pray to have a brother and sister) and trying to have another child, we had all but given into the fact that we would be a one child family, and you know what i had come to terms with that, until........ One day my wife was contacted by a young women who had told us that she felt we were supposed to be the parents to this wonderful, beautiful and sweet little girl. We were in utter shock and disbelief, could this really be happening?! Our prayers were truly being answered and our baby girl (my sweet little princess) was actually in our arms, but then comes the process of adoption.... Although our very unorthodox process is much less complicated than most agency adoptions, it will still require lawyers, courts, legal services and home visits all of which will cost money. Our family is stable, but having a bill like this dropped onto us with almost zero lead time, is a bit of a stretch for us. 

Please if you can find a way to share with us financially it would be very much appriciated, and will not go unnoticed. I also understand that times are tough for many people, and sharing financially is not a possibility, i would then ask you to please more than anything share with us your prayers, prayers of a smooth process, prayers of comfort in this process, both our family and the birth mothers, prayers of a easy transition. 

Being as stubborn and hardheaded as i am, asking for help in this has been very hard on me, but i know that i must open my heart to any and all who have a call to help, and i would do anything for my Princess and my Family as a whole! 

Thank you very much for taking time to read this, and your support in this process, however that might be.
