Why?

When I was 18 I was rushed to the hospital with a large tumor - grapefruit size, I had severe damage to both ovaries and was cystic. Though doctors saved my ovaries, they told me then I may not be able to conceive - after years of treatments and more surgeries I was diagnosed for endometriosis, several birthcontrol methods to reduce the bleeding cysts and growths, steroids, then breaks in between where my doctor hoped I would get pregnant- never happened - I was rushed once again and had to have a hysterectomy.

How long have I thought about motherhood?

I have wanted to be a mother for over 10yrs but there was another plan for me.

Why haven't we adopted already?

The reason we haven't adopted yet is because we can't afford the fees which range $16-35,000

Why not get a loan?

The reason we won't simply go get a loan for it - is because we don't want to go in debt with a new born- we would rather spend that money on the baby and the baby education.

What type of adoption are we choosing,

Open Independent Adoption, we want our forever mother to choose us for herself and build a relationship with us.

If you could become pregnant would you still consider adoption?

Yes, Once my baby was older ( teens) I would have become a foster mom.

What do you offer a child and his/her mother they choose you?

The truth! I won't lie and say I have all the riches in the world and a home with a white fence and dog. I won't promises riches and glory.

Yes I have a home - I have a regular wired fence, I do have a dog.lol a 5yr old yorkie. Me and my hubby are no where near rich but we have the financial means to raise a family. We offer love support, understanding and patience also guidance. We are a fun family - silly at times - yet serious when we need to be, we love to laugh and play and enjoy life. We travel 8-10 times a year and plan family outings.
