We are so thankful to our embryo donor family and to the amazing staff of Nightlight Christian Adoptions!

Instead of pursuing IVF we decided to answer someone else’s question: “What will become of our still-frozen embryos now that our family is complete?”

We remembered what a good God we serve and that even in the midst of trials and pain He is so faithful.

My daughters keep their baby dolls in the freezer to keep them safe, just like they were.

A huge thank you to our donors who chose us to be the parent of their precious babies.

This rare mutation posed a great risk of being passed along to any biological children we would have, so we made the extremely hard decision to not have biological children of our own.

Like every major thing in life, everything is about God’s purposes and timing and learning to trust Him. As we’ve learned, almost everything in life worth doing or experiencing tends to take longer than you expected.

We were far better prepared to be adoptive parents having had gone through Snowflakes. 

Our first face-to-face visit was everything we hoped for and more! Our daughter and her genetic siblings bonded quickly and became instant friends. It was pure delight watching them laugh and play together. My husband and I also stepped into an immediate friendship with the genetic parents.

I was more than a little alarmed when I was contacted by Nightlight telling us that our cryo-tank containing our embryos had been detained at Customs. It was being held until the package could be thoroughly inspected!
