We have been married 13 years, and together 20 years. We've had time to truly learn who each other is and embrace our time together. We have been very blessed in our lives and would love the opportunity to share that with a child(ren). We have not had any luck with a pregnancy of our own and know that in our hearts that adoption will be a great path for us. I (Laura) am lucky enough to work at a school and with children everyday, and have always been drawn to children. Matt and I know that having a child to care for of our own would be such a privilege in our lives. We are attempting to utilize the crowdfunding to help with the fees that are associated with adoption; we are anticipating costs of over $50,000. In Arizona, there is a tax adoption credit of up to $1400 that you can donate to our Adoption; dollar for dollar it is matched back in your taxes yearly.
