is adopting a child from United States of America

Dear Family and Friends, Adoption is something that has always been in our hearts throughout our marriage and in our plan. We knew shortly after marriage that having biological children would always be a struggle. After years of procedures and disappointments, we felt that adoption was the way to start our family. Once this decision was made an overwhelming peace came to us, and the stress and sadness of infertility has greatly diminished. Now we look forward to being blessed to have a child in our arms through the gift of adoption. We have currently been trying to adopt for a year with LDS Family Services, but were recently informed they would no longer be assisting with direct adoption placements. At first, our hearts were broken because this was another road block prolonging our journey to become parents. However, we decided we needed to press forward and have now transferred our home study to an agency, Adoption Link. This change has brought renewed faith that we will be able to be parents through adoption. It has also brought the realization that our adoption will be quite a bit more expensive than we had anticipated. Many people have asked us how they can help through this process. One way is to donate to our adoption fund with AdoptTogether. Every little bit helps, and each dollar that is donated brings us one step closer to bringing a sweet child into our home. We have seen so much goodness and love from so many, and want to thank all of you for your willingness to support us throughout our adoption journey. With all our love, Joel & Brittany
