Adoption


Last year was the best year ever. The reason why it was so great was because we were able to start our family through adoption. It was a long and stressful process, but in the end it was all worth it. We can't even begin to express the happiness we felt when we found out that a birth mother wanted us to adopt her precious baby. Or how excited we got when our birth mother called us in the middle of the night from the hospital saying that our baby would be born soon. Or the peace we felt the first time our birth mother placed Claire in our arms. We got to know our birth mother really well and she will forever be a part of our family. We love her so much.

This year we plan on putting our paper in again so that we can get Claire a little brother or sister. We ask you all to please pray for us and help us find another precious baby to add to our family. Feel free to find out more about the miracle of adoption at www.itsaboutlove.org

Hi Luke and Tina, I'm Toby's wife Mellissa and he told me about your adoption story, and said you are going to be adopting again soon. Your daughter is sooo cute! What a blessing! Have you read the article about adoption in the Ensign this month? It is REALLY good...made me cry...and brought back memories of our kids adoptions. Good luck with everything, we will be praying for you...let us know if you hear anything!
