Why Adoption?

From the start, we dreamed of creating a home defined by love and intention, knowing that relationships—not biology—are what truly build a home. While we initially hoped to have both biological and adopted children, infertility made it clear that adoption would be our only path forward. Rather than feeling like a compromise, this realization deepened our desire to build a family where our children would feel safe, cherished, and encouraged to grow into the amazing people they are meant to be.

In 2022, we adopted our son, and the experience has been life-changing. One moment that stands out was meeting his birth parents for the first time. We were nervous and excited, unsure of what to expect. As soon as Anna saw the birth mother, they both burst into tears and hugged, even before introducing themselves. That hug felt right—it was a moment of connection that words couldn’t capture. Sharing a love for our son has created a bond with his birth family that feels both unexpected and incredibly meaningful.

Because of the difficulty and length of our journey to find our son, we feel the miracle of his presence every single day. Watching him grow fills us with gratitude and joy. Adoption has taught us how beautiful it is when people come together with intention and love for a child. We aim to honor the courage and strength of birth parents by committing to providing a nurturing, and supportive environment for our child.

These experiences have shaped how we approach parenting—with patience, openness, and empathy. We want our children to feel secure, valued, and free to be themselves, knowing they are loved and supported unconditionally. Adoption is more than a way to grow our family; it’s a gift, and a journey that connects hearts in ways we never imagined.
