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!!!
