Local News

I debated sharing this story on our blog. But it's relative to our life that I feel that it's necessary. It's hard for me to find the words to express my sadness about this. My heart breaks for this young mother that didn't understand her options. Of course we do not know the details of this woman's situation, and I don't presume to. But I can't help but wish she knew that there are families waiting for babies to love and cherish. That there are resources to support pregnant women. What if she knew of us, would she have made the same decision? I weep for this baby that entered the world to be taken out so brutally. Why??? We have so much love to give. We pray everyday to have our little one(s) find us. Then we read the LOCAL news to see this. Absolutely heartbreaking. I pray this young woman finds peace and that this angel baby is in Gods loving arms being cherished as he deserves.


Please share our adoption profile over and over again. Let the world know that we are here and ready to become parents.


Please pray for this woman and her angel baby.

Broken Hearts

It is with great sadness that we tell you our adoption connection has failed ("failed" meaning the parents have decided to seek another placement for baby girl). This was unexpected news to us and we are absolutely devastated. For three months we have allowed our hearts to open to both birthparents and of course, this little baby girl. We slowly began to fill her nursery. We foolishly picked her name. Once again, we find ourselves mourning a child that never came to be. She will always be a part of our hearts, as are our other two babies. We are praying that she is placed with a family that will love and cherish her the way we do. Our hearts are broken and ache in ways we are all too familiar with.


There is never good timing for bad news or heartbreak. However, seeing that it is the week before Christmas, we just wanted to let you know that we probably don't want to talk about this in person unless we bring it up. We know you all care for us and want to show your love, but we are very raw and fragile. We thank you for your continued support and love as we work through this dark time.
