Fearfully and wonderfully made...

In 2006, a group of 5 couples, The Proudfoots, The Maddalenas, The Anders, The Houstons and ourselves, started meeting once a month to discuss their very personal and very painful journeys through infertility. We were all at a point in our lives where we felt helpless...hopeless that we would have have children. We spoke of faith and strength...we spoke of desires and hurt. We still meet to this day, although we have added more friends to our group. Over time, our doubts of becoming parents slowly started to change as each individual couple's door to infertility treatment closed and their doors to adoption opened. Over a period of about six months, every couple from our core group was blessed with bringing an adopted child into their home and our new journeys...our journeys of parenting...began.

Look at all of these incredible children God has blessed you all with. May they grow in your homes knowing that they are loved and where God wanted them. May you all be blessed by opening your homes and sharing your love and hearts with them. Thank you for sharing. We love you!
