We are adopting!!!


Devin and Laken picked Ethan and I to adopt their baby Girl! We feel honored and excited to adopt again!! We are excited to have Devin and Laken apart of our family, we absolutely LOVE them both! I really love that with adoption not only do you get a baby but you also gain 2 other amazing people and their families. It is a miracle that I feel humbled to be apart of.


Laken Made this for us! Isn't that so sweet? I was so excited when she told us that we were the family and was amazed that she spent time making this cute picture so it would be special for us.

This is Samara! She is due September 18th. She is measuring big so she might come early. Laken is thinking that she doesn't want an epidural........I am just amazed again and again by this girl!


I feel so excited that it is hard for me to fully share my emotions. We have been able to spend some time Devin and Laken and I already Love them! I am so excited for them to be in our life and to be their babies mommy! Gosh I just feel so lucky.

FANTASTIC, AMAZING, AND COMPLETELY AWESOME!!! I am soooo excited for your big news. How fun to see your little Samara. Where did you come up with that name... and so quickly? It always takes us forever to decide. We will have to have a baby shower and what a sweetheart Laken is for sharing these stages of her pregnancy with you.
PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED!
