Beginning our blog

I have decided to start a blog about our journey that we have recently begun surrounding starting our family. The blog idea came from my sister and I think it is a great one. I am hoping that with the blog I will have an outlet to share the journey, both challenges and rewards that come. I also hope that some of our family, friends and others will learn about the process and what people experience that choose adoption.

I am going to start with a brief introduction about Jeremy and I and how we got here. We dated senior year in high school, at the end of the year we went our separate ways. After four years of little to no contact with each other we met up for dinner. The connection was instant, one year later we were engaged, a year and half later we were married and we are now getting ready to celebrate our two year anniversary next month. Several months ago we decided we were ready to start a family. Well, that didn't go quite as planned. After a little disappoint we decided on Adoption. Since this decision has been made we have been filled with excitement, nerves, happiness, and fear. Adoption is something that we know is the right decision for us and our future family. We have never once doubted that this is the path we should be on. Although we have faced challenges recently we both know that true love is hard to find and what we have is precious.

This journey is one that will have the greatest gift of all at the end of it, our child.
