Hi! We appreciate you taking the time to read our adoption story. Our lives started together when we met working together in 2001 at a blood bank in Colorado. We dated for several years and in June of 2005 we got married with many of our family and friends in attendance. We have been happily married for over ten years and our marriage continues to grow with love, support, honesty, respect, encouragement, and Christian faith. We have experienced several miscarriages over the years, and felt it was God&'s way of calling us to adopt a baby in need. According to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services, there are over 120,000 orphans in America, while another 400,000 children in America live without permanent families. We invite you to be part of a helping hand in bringing a baby to our forever home. Our agency fee is approximately $20,000 in total (this includes application fee, home study, adoption training, background check, finger prints, domestic infant program fee, agency case management, match, post placement follow up, court finalization, and attorney fee). Please know all donations through this site are tax deductible. If unable to donate financially, please consider donating baby items, donating items to sell in our garage sale, and/or sharing this website with your friends and family. We appreciate you taking the time to hear our story and for supporting us on this journey. Love, Jim and Tina
