We are very excited to let you know that we are hoping to adopt! Some of you may have already known about this, as it's something that's been in the works for a while. We just recently had our profile published on the LDS Family Services website, so we figured it was time to announce it on our lovely blogs. You can view our profile by clicking here.
The journey that has brought us to where we are today has been a rollercoaster ride filled with lots of ups and downs. With challenges in life come great blessings from the Lord, and we have faith that adoption will be a miracle in our lives from Him. We are sincerly excited to adopt and have faith that this is the Lord's plan for us to bring children into our home.
As mentioned, we are going through LDS Family Services, which allows birth mothers to choose the couple their child will be placed with. As a result, we don't know how long it will be until a mother chooses to place with us. If you know of an individual who is considering placing their child for adoption, we would love for you to direct them to our profile and get in touch with us!
The greatest strength we have found in this journey is the peace and comfort that comes from the Atonement of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We have faith that He is ever mindful of us and that His plan for us is greater than any plan we had for ourselves!

This is so exciting! Your profile is beautiful - I would choose you :) I'm amazed by your faith and strength during this difficult time. I know how difficult it can be to struggle with infertility - what a great opportunity and blessing it will be to adopt. I hope and pray that your baby's birth mom finds you soon.
Best of luck to you guys. My aunt and uncle adopted a child through LDS Services and their oldest daughter adopted through them three times. I had a little taste of the ups and downs you have experienced and I'm so happy that you are able to bring a child to your home in this way. The gospel is such a blessing.
You guys will be truly amazing, awesome parents! Adoption is great...you get the most amazing family that way! (and I should know!) Best of luck and we will keep you in our prayers!
