We are adopting! For more than five years we've been planning and dreaming about growing our family. Like many couples we initially tried conceiving on our own but have faced challenges that made that path more difficult than we anticipated. While the journey to this point has looked different than we initially imagined, our desire to become parents has never changed. We are excited to be officially in the adoption process and waiting to meet our first child! One thing we've learned along the way is that the adoption process is more expensive than a lot of people might realize. Between agency fees, legal expenses, home studies, travel, and other associated costs necessary to the process, the financial commitment is significant. We've set up this GoFundMe for those who might wish or be willing to help us grow our family. We could never adequately express our gratitude to those who have helped, and will help, us in this new chapter of our lives. So thank you for supporting us and our future child! :)
