My husband and I have been trying to build our family for four years. Last year, God gave us two open doors – one for fertility treatments and another for adoption. After much prayer, we felt complete peace about pursuing adoption, specifically adopting siblings from foster care. After five months of intense and invasive interviews with the agency, we were
In 2018 my husband and I found out that a foster family program was about to start in our hometown and God moved our hearts to apply to foster a child. Later that year, we were welcoming a 2 year old into our home! It was love at first sight. The love and the bond with our child grew stronger. At the same time, we
After eight years of infertility, foster care, adoption, 2 losses, loads of fertility treatments and procedures, medications, injections, doctors, specialist, medical test, pokes and prods, I am pregnant and am due on October 24, 2022.

The song Wait on You by Elevation Worship and Maverick City Music has really spoken to me in my wait to become a mom… “But I’ve got a promise I can hold / In the middle of the struggle / God, if You said it, You’ll perform it / May not be how I want You to / But here’s
My husband Mathew and I got married July 26, 2014. From the start of our marriage we both wanted to start a family right away. As many of you know our plans are not always God’s plans.

I think he thought I was a little crazy, but I thought maybe things hadn’t worked out for us up until that point because we were meant to do something else first. We looked into
In June 2017 my husband and I were two years post-miscarriage, had just had our third failed IUI and were enrolled in our first couples Bible study. We had accumulated thousands of dollars in debt since we started TTC in October 2013 and were considering tacking on thousands more to pursue IVF, the next step in our fertility treatment plan.
I have wanted to be a teacher, get married, and be a mommy since I was a little girl. My 2nd year teaching preschool I met a little girl that just pulled at my heart strings. She was living with her grandmother and had lost both parents. She was diagnosed with Autism at 2 and was non verbal at the
In 2013 I got unexpectedly pregnant with my son. In May of 2016, I married my high school crush, the father of my son. Through this marriage, I also gained an amazing stepdaughter. June 2016, I went off birth control so we could expand our family. I found out I was pregnant in July, but in August, I went in for my first
I grew up in foster care after both of my parents passed away by the age of ten.

My husband and I had been married
