To make a looong story a bit shorter, after nine years of infertility, my husband Eric and I decided that we were ready to adopt. After a lot of research we decided to do a domestic adoption through our state's foster parenting system.

In May of 1996, after about 14 mos of training, writing our homestudy going to many committees, and a lot of prayer, we received the call that we had been chosen for Jimmy (then age 17 mos). We had a blissful summer...everything seemed new and fresh. We fell deeply in love.

Then in September of 1996 (just 3-1/2 mos later) we received the call that Jimmy's birthmom had given birth again. We didn't even know if the baby was a boy or girl but we were thrilled with the opportunity to have a birth sibling for Jimmy. It turned out that the baby was our beautiful Jeremy.

Then, May 25, 2001 we added a new son, Jason, who was 5 mo old. Jason is also a half sibling to his brothers! We feel blessed that we are able to have three beautiful boys!
