Dear Friends

Whether you are a birthparent, friend, or family member, we want to thank you for checking us out and being part of our adoption miracle! We are so excited to adopt and hope that you will explore our blog by clicking on the side bar links.

We are currently going through the adoption process with LDS Family services in Idaho Falls, Idaho. If you would like to contact us, please feel free to leave us a comment, email, call, contact our case worker, or show up on our doorstep! We would love to hear from you. 

Love and Hugs,

Daren & Shannon

  2. We have endured 8 years of infertility treatments and then adopted two incredible children.

    Adoption is the greatest act of love, compassion, repentence and faith that I have ever witnessed. YOu will feel overwhelmed with joy, hope, sadness, humility, grattitude, bliss when it happens for you. It will be the "best" day of your lives. (Good, Better, Best, Elder Oaks 10/07)

    We wish you the world! Good luck - if you have questions let us know, we would be happy to visit with you about this amazing journey.

  3. I am so excited for you guys! My 4 older siblings are adopted, and with out a doubt in my mind I've always known that the 6 of us kids were meant to be a family. Those 4 siblings mean the world to me and I can't imagine my life with out them! You guys are doing such a great thing! One day you will have a son or daughter that you will love unconditionally and once you look at him/her you will know that this is your child, and that Heavenly Father sent you this exact child specifically to you for many reasons that for now are unknown. You guys are awesome! Shannon, you are such a wonderful person! I miss you and love you lots! I wish you guys the best of luck!

  6. http://cutegirlshairstyles.blogspot.com/ On this site she has a lot of info on adoption in Utah and about babies who are going to be born in August needing to be adopted. I don't know anything about it but went to the site for hairstyles. Good luck and I hope it helps.

  7. Saw your widget on my nieces blog, Adrienne Murray.
    Just wanted to tell you good luck. We adopted our daughter Caitlin thru Family Services in IF, 9 years ago. Truly an amazing experience, I can say that now, then much harder to look at it as amazing before the adoption. Things come together usually when you do not expect them. Enjoy the journey, but continue on with your journey, don't let it become all consuming. Best wishes for you.

  8. I hope you don't mind me chiming in here... I found your widget on Gerberta's site.

    Some dear friends of ours are finally about to adopt a little boy. They posted their story on a website where the birth mom found their profile. It might help if you were to post your story there as well.

    In our friend's case the birth mom lives on the east coast and our friends are in Utah. They are also using LDS services for the adoption process.

    I hope your adoption journey is short and FULL of wonderful children.
