Our Story: My husband and I have been to together for 10 years and celebrated our 7 year Anniversary this July. We have always talked about having a big family with at least four children. We never dreamed growing our family would be such a challenge. It took us a year of trying to be blessed with our daughter who was born in 2014. She is an amazing little girl adding so much joy, laughter, love, and adventure to our lives. On August 24th, 2015, we found we were expecting our second child. We were beyond excited to add to our family. We went to the doctor for ultrasound on Sept. 3rd. Unfortunately, the ultrasound showed internal bleeding by my right fallopian tube meaning I was most likely having an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy, is when the egg implants itself in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus. This can be very dangerous for the mother, as your fallopian tube could burst and I could potentially die from internal bleeding. So on Sept. 3rd, I was taking into emergency surgery to remove our baby. I was told I have a 60% chance that my right side will heal with no damage. After, we had to wait 3 months before we could try for another baby. On July 12th, 10 months after we loss our second child, we found out we were finally pregnant with our third child. Our appointment we scheduled for Aug. 5. I had no problems like I did with the second pregnancy so I believed whole hardheartedly that this was going to be normal pregnancy. The day arrived, an ultrasound was performed. Those words I wasn't expecting came out of my doctors mouth. It was another ectopic pregnancy on the right side. We scheduled the surgery and loss our second baby on Aug. 6th. We have always talked about adding to our family via adoption even before we were married. We want to provide a family, love, and comfort to a child. We always pictured it as something we would do later in life but we feel as if we are being lead to adopt now. If if you feel compelled to give, there are no words to express our gratitude for the precious child you will help welcome into our lives. We thank you for your support and your generosity. Love, The Knust's
