James and I would like to announce that we are very excited to be starting the adoption process. After meeting James I knew I wanted him to be the father of my children. He has such a kind heart and has so much love. We were married June 19th, 2010 we came to a joint decision on when we would start a family. Both of us thought it would be good to wait two years after being married. It seemed like a great decision.
One month after being married James and I did a lot of thinking and figured why not try now? If it was meant to be it would happen. After 6 months of trying I was very confused of why we were not getting pregnant. I made an appointment with a doctor she gave me a thorough check up and told me everything looked good and suggested I purchase an ovulation kit.
A couple months went by and I decided to pick up an ovulation kit. The directions on how to use it were simple. It was like taking a pregnancy test, but having to make sure to do it everyday. If i wasn't ovulating it would show me a negative sign ( I was use to seeing these) and then of course a positive sign if I was ovulating. Unfortunately for me a positive sign never showed up. I was devastated.
Once I knew I didn't ovulate I decide to research Doctor's. I came across Utah Infertility Clinic in Pleasant Grove, UT. The Doctor who worked there seemed to have a lot of success with his patients. He was even on Oprah :) I wanted to see him and I had so much hope. James and I setup an appointment with him. He had crazy confidence in our situation he made us feel like I could get pregnant right away.
Dr. Faulk knew exactly what was wrong with me by asking simple questions. He knew I wasn't ovulating. He did a quick ultra-sound and showed me how small my ovaries were. He informed me that they should be a lot bigger. He put me on clomid and other medicine. I was an emotional wreck. Thank goodness for James :)
I could go on and on about all the different treatments he did for me and how many test James and I had to get done, but it really is just very emotionally draining to even think about it. Our visits to the Doctor weren't cheap and thank goodness for our family members who supported us through this process.
James and I have always talked about adoption. He is adopted and we know a lot of people who are adopted or who have adopted. We have never felt ready to start the adoption process till now. We were sealed for time and all eternity August 2, 2013. The time to start the process seems right for us now.
We need to raise around 2,000 right now to pay for fees and our home study. If you'd like to donate we have added our paypal account to our blog.
God bless you and thank you for taking the time to read our blog !
Love,
James & Jess
