We're paper pregnant! Almost...

It's been a long 3 years. We've faced surgery after surgery, countless doctor's visits, crazy inducing medications and more than our fair share of grief and disappointment. Through it all, we have been so blessed to have our families and friends by our sides. Truly, no act of kindness has gone unnoticed. Whether it was a meal you made us, a card, a phone call, a lunch-date- your love and thoughtfulness has sustained us through the darkest of times.

No matter how dark the road got, God never left us. He has been by our sides through every tear, negative test, and failed treatment.

Many of you already know that Lauren has felt God tugging at her heart to pursue adoption literally throughout our entire journey. Even when top specialists were telling us we would conceive and there was nothing wrong- I felt an indescribable pull.


Nearly 2 1/2 years later, we are both at a point where we are ready to move forward on our journey to bring home our baby. It has been so amazing to see the beautiful ways God has worked on our hearts. More on that another day...

Today, we received our home study application and once we are through with the mountains of paperwork and required appointments we will be able to officially start the home study process.

Our hope is that this blog would help each of our loved ones to feel and know that your are an integral part of this process. Part of the beauty of this journey is that you truly cannot rely on your own power. The only way we can bring our child home is with your support.  We need your prayers for our sanity, our child and his/her birthparents.

With love,

Matt & Lauren
