A week ago we were ecstatic to share the news that we believed would change our lives forever. And it did.
Seven days ago, we thought our seven year journey had finally begun a new adventure.
And it had.
We witnessed the birth of a beautiful baby boy. And for a few days we fell in love with him. We thought he would be our child and we would be his parents. Alas, it was not meant to be.
We've learned so much about ourselves. We realized how much we could love and how much it can hurt to have a dream taken away again. The struggle to become parents is not behind us.
Yet, we learned how much we are loved by our family and friends. And how grateful we are to have a family made up of you all. Thank you.
While the ache still lingers; we are learning how strong we are as individuals and as a couple. After uncurling from the dark; we reminded each other of our goal... to "Make a Family Tree."
Today is Valentine's Day. When we profess our love for one another and others. And for us, we have decided to put our heart out once more. We have contacted our social worker and reactivated our adoption profile.
Adoption is love and not for the faint of heart. You have to want this bad and be willing to accept some bruises along the journey.
As long as we are together we will navigate the bumps and reach our dream. It is not a matter of "if" we will be parents; it is a matter of "when."
We appreciate all of your love and support as we continue the journey to Make Our Family Tree.
