What Led Us To Adoption
Both of us have always wanted kids, so deciding to adopt came naturally. From the moment we met, we discussed our desire to start a family, and it was one of the reasons we fell in love. When Conor’s cousin gave birth, we got to spend a lot of time with their newborn, and playing with him on the beach in the sand for the first time made it clear we were ready to start our own family. Our decision wasn’t whether or not to have children; it was how we were going to go about this. We both decided adoption was the most loving, practical path to have children, and we have been able to experience the love and joy our own family members have experienced through their adoption journeys. When we told our family and friends we were starting the adoption process, they told us they always knew we would be dads and it wasn’t surprising at all.
