John, Bern and little baby Quinn

Our Love....

My husband is my best friend. We do everything together. We get on each others nerves and we prop each other up when we need it. We have been trying for over two years to have a baby. We have had our share of ups and downs. We get excited then down the roller coaster we go. We laugh and cry and we get through it. Somehow. We love spending time with family and friends and we would love to add to our family. A little one to bring us full circle. A baby that would bring smiles to everyone around him/her.

Our journey so far...

We went through one IVF cycle with a clinic that didn't really treat us like we mattered. We weren't young enough for them. It was hurtful. The doctor barely talked to us during our 6 week journey there. We have decided to adopt (John is adopted, yay, adoption!), There are so many children who need a home and we need your help in completing our family.

Why we need your help...

We both have mothers with health issues. My mother has early onset Alzheimer's. She has a small pension and Social Security. What that doesn't cover, my husband and I pay for to ensure that she has a great quality of life in her last year. She is young, 64-years, so those last years could be decades. We also have to be aware that it when it comes time to have full-time care we need to pay for that as well. John's mother's health is declining and he is responsible for her care as well. She luckily has the pension John's father left her and Social Security. Her house is paid off and so is her car, which is fairly new. We both have sisters who help with care, but financially we are responsible. We know that money can be tight sometimes and deciding where to donate can be a challange. We hope  you can find it in your hearts to give what you can when you can. Every bit helps.

Why we chose to reach out to you...

We live a good life. We have an amazing support group of friends and extended family. We love them and they love us. We want to share that love with a little nut we've already named Quinn.

So as to not go into massive debt and keep our feet on the ground we are trying to raise money for adoption feeds we need to make our family  reality. We would love to become parents and we know that adoption is the best option for us at this time,Quinn is just waiting for us to make her (or him, daddy really wants a girl) a reality. Not just a dream.

Thank you for helping us make our dream a reality

Look into your heart, or maybe your own child's eyes and please donate. It would mean the world to us.

Thank you!
