So Many Blessings Thanks To Embryo Adoption

The past two years, two months, and two weeks have brought so many blessings to City Jen's life... the most amazing and wonderful blessings are, of course Sarah and Anna, whom we adopted as embryos... They are so much fun and absolutely amazing... We can hardly believe they are our precious princesses... absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way... We love to watch their different personalities continue to develop as do their different physical features...

We are coming up on the two year anniversary of yet another amazing and life altering miracle... Country Jen and City Jen communicate for the first time thanks to the internet... Country Jen commented on City Jen's blog and the rest is history... Little did we realize, both families would be blessed with 7 children each through adoption... nor did we realize our Embryo Adoption Journeys would start so differently, yet end so similarly...


We know that God brought us- 2 Jens- together first- to provide support and comfort to each other... And now- after our husbands and 14 children have spent time together- it is obvious He brought the 18 of us together for fun, support, and comfort...


Just thinking about Pat, City Jen's husband, holding Baby Bakers- Country Jen's baby adopted as an embryo, then watching Country Jen's Husband holding City Jen's baby adopted as an embryo brings tears to City Jen's eyes... The entire scene was absolutely amazing to witness... Two couples blessed with 14 children not genetically related to their adoptive parents... the love in the room was overflowing... the stories were awe inspiring... Life is GREAT....

God is GREAT!!!

Our Donor Families...

Without a doubt, it is extremely rare, if ever, that Jen and I exchange an email or have a conversation where our donor families are not mentioned...

We are so appreciative of the gifts of life that that have been given us... Sarah, Anna, and Blakely...

Our girls have brought so much joy and happiness to our lives and the lives of each of our family members...

Based on our experience with adoption- Country Jen, as an adoptee herself, and as the moms to 14 adopted blessings between us, we know that it is truly in our children's best interest to be involved with their genetic families- both parents and siblings...

Our hope and prayer is that one day, our children will have the opportunity to not only meet, but to grow up knowing and spending time with their genetic parents and siblings...

If you have the opportunity to have a relationship with your donor families, PLEASE enjoy every minute of it... even though it may be tough at times... research AND our life experiences tell us that the rewards for the children go above and beyond any "stress" it can cause the adults involved.... otherwise the children will always have doubts and questions in their minds- age appropriate truth and reality are always best for children- and adults for that matter-lol!!!
