Sera Gruszka

is adopting a child from United States of America

Hi! We&'re Elliot and Sera Gruszka. We met and fell in love 8 years ago. We moved to Michigan from Indiana, finished our graduate degrees (mostly :)), and waited with great anticipation to start our family. In 2011, we excitedly decided to start trying to have a child. Unfortunately, it quickly became clear that there were problems. Surgery, multiple IVF procedures, an ectopic pregnancy, and a miscarriage followed in the next two years. This time in our lives was painful, exhausting, heart-breaking. And yet, we have been filled with gratitude and joy with the blessings of God. In 2013, God began gently and lovingly turning our hearts and minds towards adoption. On July 11, 2014, our prayers were answered! We got a call from our social worker at Bethany Christian Services that we had been chosen by a birthmom! A few days later we met with our son&'s birthmom and had an immediate connection. Things moved quickly and after a week of daily visits, Desmond Gabriel Gruszka came home with us. Desmond is a sweet and loving boy who is already sleeping through the night! The transition to parenthood has gone smoothly and we are loving our time together as a family. We have been blessed with amazing family and friends that have surrounded us in love and support. With their help, we have raised a little over $4000, which has paid for our home study. This has been a tremendous blessing as we have had many expenses from fertility treatments and student loans. We hope to raise at least a part of the final cost of the adoption to supplement the amount we will be contributing ourselves. Thank you for taking the time to share in our story.
