We have talked about having a family together since we first met in 2017! Raising kids in Fayetteville, Arkansas close to both of our families along with our nieces and nephews is something we both have always desired. We truly believe God has given us a deep desire to be parents and have a family
Adoption has always been a part of the discussion when it comes to what our family might look like and when it became clear to us that we wouldn’t have biological children we knew immediately adoption was the natural next step. We are so excited, thrilled and a little nervous at the thought of becoming a family that we can hardly stand it!! I think it’s safe to say our parents, siblings, grandparents, and nieces and nephews are feeling the same way.
After several discussions with various adoption agencies and one incredibly kind and honest attorney, we have decided to work with American Adoptions based out of Kansas City. We know it will be a journey and we will need love and support. We were referred to them by the local attorney (referenced above) in Rogers who was highly recommended to us by close family friends and feel this is the right place for us to be.
We would appreciate your good thoughts and prayers during this journey to becoming a family, The Blankenship Clan! We know it will be challenging and emotional but having a sweet baby to love and care for in our arms will absolutely outweigh everything else.
Thank you for your support. We are forever grateful.
