They were home study ready in November and began applying to agencies right away. Three months later they were matched! They lovingly invested their hearts in...

Adoption Story: Jared and Christy

Most couples enter marriage starry-eyed, hopeful, and filled with dreams for the future. A part of that dream often includes the hope that a tiny little person will enter the picture one day.

But the longing in their hearts to become a mom and dad far...
