Making Our Dream Come True

Donation protected
We were married in August of 2012 and immediately we both knew we shared the dream of having children but about two years into our marriage, we were struck with the unfortunate news that we were unable to have children of our own due to a rare condition called Hyperemesis Gravidarum which occurs when pregnancy happens naturally with someone who has this condition.  Hyperemesis is a rare & severe morning sickness which would require me to remain hospitalized of the entire term of the pregnancy due to the potential risks to both the baby's health as well as my own. 

Unsure of what options we had and not wanting to risk another miscarriage we came to the realization that there was still hope for our dream. With so many children in the world who don't already have a loving home it would be a shame to not research adoption.  So after much research and self reflection both as individuals and as a family, we have decided that our lives and our home, filled with so much stability and unconditional love is a perfect place for an adopted child. We both have weighed the challenges and know in our hearts that god meant for us to travel down this particular road to having a family. A family filled with the most potential to show a child a truly wonderful future that they may not have gotten had we been able to concieve naturally.

We are both gainfully employed and are growing more financially stable each year however the fees and costs for the adoption are high and although we are capable of providing our child with all their needs while raising them, the direct cost of the adoption are far outside of our immediate reach. All donations will be soley applied to the costs and fees of the adoption through the Bethanny adoption agency all other cost for raising our child are well within our financial means.

The process for adoption does take time but we have periodic payments to make over the next year beginning in the next three to four months and will be keeping this go fund me page updated regularly with our successes on this amazing and challenging road.

Children have been a passion for both my husband and I since even before we were married, we both come from large loving families and I myself have made it my life's work to care for and work with children. We both know that the next step for us as a family is to grow and to together raise our own child, a new blessing for us and our entire family.

All of your help, great and small has the utmost sincere and highest appreciation from all of us, me, my husband and each one of our family who will be helping in any way they can and greatly look forward to adding a knew member to our hearts and our home. We truly cannot express in words how much love and thanks we wish to each and everyone of you who helps make our dream come true, as well as our thoughts and prayers to all those who share in our endeavor. Building a family is one of the great and noble wonders of the human spirit and we wish you well all those who feel the same and find it in your hearts to help.

Sincerely with all our love and admiration,
