On Saturday April 30, 2011, I had a phone conversation that would forever change my life. I wrote this blog post shortly after that day. Josh and I had been trying to get pregnant for quite some time. So when we were approached with the opportunity to adopt, especially considering the amazing family we were […]

I’m a day late getting this posted and I am so sorry. The past week was excruciating for some in the world of infertility.
