Have you ever experienced a moment when it felt like a huge weight was lifted off your shoulders and you could breathe again? That’s how it felt for me our Adoption Day. Our son came into our home on February 9, 2018. We received full custody a little over a year after on February 13,…
One of the most intimidating steps of our adoption home study process was to create a profile book. To be honest with you, all I could think about was “If this isn’t any good, a birth mom won’t pick us, and it’ll be my own fault!” So I set out to find the best way of going about this.

These past few months have been a whirlwind, but it has been so exciting to expand the business and grow something that I feel so strongly about. Our adoption process has brought about many beautiful blessings. But one of the things that I have appreciated so much while we wait for our adoption to happen…

Our story is one I never dreamed would be reality! In 2016 I felt God moving me to east TN and I didn’t really understand why. My friends pastored a church there, and I thought that’s why God was moving me to help them with the church. At least, that’s what I told myself, family and friends.

We didn’t think about having kids, but we didn’t really think about not having them either.

We did discuss adoption during that year, but neither one of us felt it was the right time for adoption.

November is set aside as adoption awareness month, and I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate it! Before we began our process of adoption, I had some friends who had adopted, but I didnt give it a whole lot of thought. Now, it’s ALL I think about!
President Trump gave a speech about this month and said, “My Administration also acknowledges the courage of those mothers and fathers who place their child for adoption. Our Nation grows stronger because of the love and sacrifice of parents, both birth and adoptive.”
