"So... When are you guys gonna start a family?"

We get this question a lot. After being married for more than eight years, it is more like "So where are the kids, already?!?!" About four years ago, we started our journey to grow our family. Through this journey, we've experienced three heartbreaking miscarriages and over a year of unexplained infertility. Now, we are looking more closely at adoption to grow our family.

Why Adoption?
We've always planned to adopt. We wanted to have a child then adopt our second child. We've just always felt that God has called us to adopt. Adoption is a big part of both of our families. My youngest sister is adopted. Brian has cousins that are adopted. As we've started looking more into adoption, we've found that we had many friends and other relatives that are adopted or have adopted.

We are just so ready to become parents and to share our love, faith, and experiences with a child. Our families already love our future son or daughter without even meeting them yet.

Why blog about it?
I wanted to start this blog to document our adoption process and our experience growing a family. Brian may chime in with a post here and there as well. I also wanted to document this journey to help anyone else that is looking into adoption or that has experienced the pain of infertility and multiple miscarriages.
