We're on an adventure to grow our family through
THE JOY OF ADOPTION!
Here's the link:
Any and all help spreading the word is tremendously appreciated.
We are adopting privately (not through an agency) so we have to do all our own searching/spreading the word. You are welcome to post a link on your FB, IG, Twitter or your blog! Or whatever else you can think of.
Thank you all for your love and support.
We've been so very blessed by each of you!

FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW OUR STORY:
In short, we started trying to get pregnant in November of 2008 (five months after we got married). We were so so excited to be starting our family! We have both wanted children since we were young but once we found each other those desires grew even more.
After a couple of years of hoping and praying we started doing fertility treatments. We started out small and eventually escalated to IVF (in 2012). We were blessed to become pregnant twice through IVF but both ended in miscarriages (2013 & 2014). After three cycles, complications, hospitalizations and our two miscarriages we decided it was time to adopt.
We've loved the idea of adopting since we were dating. It's amazing how the Lord puts things in your heart long before you need them to prepare you for what's ahead.
So we got our profile up on Adoption.com in March and now we're anxious awaiting the day that we'll be contacted! Like I said above, we are more than happy to talk to any woman considering placement- with no obligation of course. We know what a big decision it is and will respect her decisions.
Thank you again for sharing and for being a part of our lives!

Have you considered foster adoption? It can be a long process but is so worth it. My family did foster care. I have three amazing adopted brothers all from different backgrounds who are such perfect fits. Our first came to us at 14mon, our 2nd we received from the hospital I believe he was 3days old, and our 3rd was suppose to be respit which means we were temporarily watching him while his current foster family went on vacation. He was five at the time and we fell in love. Since his foster family at the time had no intention of adopting we coordinated with them and the state to have him placed with us. When the option to adopt came up we jumped at it. My brothers are now 14,15, and 15. I'm certainly not against private adoption by any means but private adopted babies are "wanted." Their birth moms pick a family that desperately wants a child and they live happily ever after in most cases. So many foster children don't get that. They bounce through the system bc so many are willing to take them on a temporary basis but not adopt and give them that forever home. If you haven't considered foster adoption, I urge you to. There are so many wonderful children seeking amazing parents like you and if you ever have questions feel free to email me daniellecromero@hotmail.com
