Do you support us?

In light of recent events, our drive to adopt have been renewed and refueled, we had slowed down because of the pregnancy. We are going to adopt, and to be able to go through that process we are going to need the unconditional support of our immediate families and extended families and our friends. We know some of you may not understand why & how we've decided to adopt. It has been difficult and we know it may be just as hard for you to understand.

1. Yes, we know it's only been two years (almost) but much has happened, and as we discovered suring our adoption calsses many couples have had the same experiences, but usually over the course of five years or so, we've done it all in two! (not that it is a race or anything, just illustrating how fast and how much has gone on)

2. We have both wanted to adopt. We thought this would happen after we had our own biological kids, now adoption is how we plan to begin our family.

3. Most Important, we know this is what we need to do. We've prayed and fasted and gone to the temple with adoption in mind and always the answer is yes.

We're doing all we can to prepare. please be supportive and understanding of our decision. Adoption is a long and trying process with a lot of paper work to get through, and we've only just begin.

We are in FULL support of you guys! You've prayed and feel its right and that's exactly what you're supposed to do. It's not anyone else's business to tell you otherwise. Only you can receive revelation for your family. Thank heavens for the loving father in heaven that we have to lead and guide us in the way our lives are supposed to go. We love you! Take care!

I couldn't think of any couple more deserving of adopting. Know that I'm always here for you both even if I'm half a world away. You will make amazing parents.

You two have been through so much...I'm so sorry for the miscarriage, and hope everything is going well with you. I'm so glad you're going to adopt because I know you are so deserving of a child.

Well said! I hope those who are still not understanding why will give you a call or me or Joe's parents.
