Many of you may be wondering what put us on the path of adopting. Well, the short version is that we haven't had any luck the old fashioned way and the thought of being medical test subjects in order to produce a child "naturally" didn't seem all that attractive to either of us.
The great thing about adopting is that there are countless children in numerous countries who need someone to give them a home, love, support, and a chance at a great life they may not otherwise get. We are very excited about the thought of one day bringing a child into our home and family. Introducing them to some of our friends, on the other hand, well....maybe we should wait a while on that! Just kidding....
We'll try to keep everyone updated on our page here as we move through this long process, and we thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

The goings on of a couple weaving their way through the process of international adoption - starting with deciding what country is the best match for them. And much like the Olympics of your childhood, Russia and China are the favorites.
