A year after Matt and I got married we began trying to get pregnant. We were so excited to start our family. We continued to try but no luck. It was a very emotional time, especially watching a lot of our friends get pregnant while we couldn't. After 2 disappointing years of trying we finally decided to go to a fertility doctor to get tested. So, last summer we went through all the testing to find out that medically there is nothing wrong with us. We were told that after so many years of trying we should do in-vitro. We just didn't feel like that was the right choice for us.
After praying about it we both felt that God was calling us to adopt. If there was nothing wrong with us and we hadn’t conceived then it was God’s will. We have been talking about adoption for over a year now, but now we feel like it’s God’s time for us to go forth with adopting a beautiful baby boy or girl.
Matt and I are so excited about this adoption process. We have been researching several adoption agencies and facilities. We are very blessed to have an adoption lawyer that is also a family friend. She has been making sure that we are equipped with sufficient knowledge. Matt and I have narrowed our search to 2 adoption organizations and we are meeting with both on Friday so we can make the best decision. We will keep you updated on our choice. We are hoping to sign with someone by next week!
Adoption is so wonderful. I'm so happy for you both :)
