Obviously, our lives have been forever changed through adoption. The whole process for us was pretty surreal. It seemed like for a long time Josh and I were fighting to do what we wanted to do, meaning like every other young married couple, we thought we would just get pregnant and have a family when the time was right for us. That wasn't the case for us however; we really struggled, and after a lot of tests and doctors visits and treatments we were left overwhelmed and still at square one. God was working all that time though. He knew what we needed to go through to get to where we needed to be. I think that our fertility struggles were necessary to get us to Major. From the time we decided on adoption to the time Major was born was just 4 months. I know that as perfect a situation as we had, it was all God's doing. Major is the perfect addition to our family and as his third birthday approaches, I am brought back to all the memories and emotions that surround his sweet story. We are forever grateful to his birthfamily for making the sacrifices they did in order to provide Major with a life and family that they couldn't. We are still overwhelmed and humbled by the fact that they chose us to raise their son. Adopting Major is the best thing Josh and I have ever done. So Happy Adoption Month! :) Here are some pictures from his Birth Day.
Welcome to the world, Major!
