One of the reasons we progressed from friendship to serious dating was because of how strong our friendship was. That friendship stemmed from honest conversations and open vulnerability out of the desire for a truly caring and trusting relationship. It didn't take long, then, for us to start having some serious conversations about our life goals and aspirations. 

Among the first conversations we had while dating included considerations about adoption. Surprisingly to both of us, we each had already loved the idea of adding to our future family through adoption, and both already planned to make that idea into reality one day. Having only addressed the topic on a surface level at the time, we both assumed adoption would come later in life after having finished school, figured out our careers, found a home, and probably had a few kids of our own first, always looking forward to welcoming more children to join our family.

Shortly into our happy marriage, we began trying to start our family through pregnancy. After about a year of trying on our own unsuccessfully, we saw our first doctor to check for any potential problems. This doctor was as wonderful as any couple could ask for to try and help us through our struggle. After doing all he could within his abilities, we were referred to specialists to receive further treatment. Over four years and five different doctors, no attempted treatment seemed to work. What made this long experience even more difficult was the fact that no doctor could find even the smallest issue with either of our health in any way, we were the ideal couple to conceive and no one could figure out why we couldn't.

In a way, you could say our long road of infertility has still not ended. Physically, there is no explanation for our inability to conceive up to this point. 

But spiritually and emotionally, despite the turmoil we have experienced along this road, our hearts have been healed. Upon deciding to pursue adoption, we could not be more excited to find our baby and give them all the love we've longed to give a child. We believe that the very reason we haven't been able to bear children biologically is because our family is supposed to start through adoption rather than the other way around, and we can hardly wait to meet our baby.

Our Home Study has been completed by Krystal Leaaetoa, LCSW, through Utah Adoption Specialists.

We are looking to adopt a newborn baby from a birth mother who is looking to put her baby up for adoption, but are open to adopting up to 1 year old.
