From the moment that we considered marriage we were certain that we wanted children and have eagerly awaited that day! For 5 years we have waited for God to fulfill this desire. Those five years have been filled with hope, expectation and also a lot of heartbreaks and disappointments.  Three years ago Joe was diagnosed with male infertility. Our journey through this diagnosis has been very painful and emotional as we have patiently watched family and friends become parents, and grow their own families...the same thing that we have so deeply desired! Finally, through a series of events that we have felt were led by God, we have confidently stepped forward towards adopting our first child through an agency in Texas called the Gladney Center for Adoption. And we are now convinced that God is writing a beautiful story that is uniquely ours!

We have progressed through the application and orientation phases and are now in the paperwork process. The early part of this journey tends to be when the majority of funds must be raised. We intend to save and contribute as much as we possibly can to our adoption, however, we need your help to bring our baby home! From agency fees, to birth mother expenses, travel costs, and court fees, our total cost is about $40,000. We humbly ask that you would pray and consider giving toward making this dream a reality! By giving through this site, you can immediately print out a tax-deductible receipt and funds will be granted to us directly to our agency. 

Please also consider helping us spread the news by sharing this post with your friends, family and community! Thank you in advance for considering this request and joining us on this incredible journey!
