Spotlight: James and Heather

This couple is SOOO cute I am really excited to be able to spotlight them!

We’re James & Heather!

Our little love story began when Heather and I met at a church activity in 2003. For me, it was love at first sight! I was first attracted to her beautiful and infectious smile, and I just knew that I had to get to know the girl behind it. After a few months if dating, she finally realized that I was her Prince Charming and everything seemed to line up perfectly. We were engaged the following March, and married in August 2004. We’ve loved everything about married life from buying our first house to burning Sunday dinner together!

Our Road to Adoption -

We’ve always known that we wanted to have children because we both have awesome families. We have 2 nieces and 12 nephews - including cute Curtis, who was recently adopted! After we were married, we immediately bought a house and started planning for our first little addition. We actually had baby names picked out before we got engaged! (We're nerds, right!) We thought it would be a piece of cake... boy were we in for disappointment! After years of frustration, tears, and fertility treatments, we were introduced to the miracle of adoption. Last April, our close friends adopted a beautiful little girl. While we were holding her for the first time, we both felt strongly that adoption was the right path for us. We know that adoption is an incredible and amazing way to become parents, and we are ready to begin our adoption journey!

The Road Ahead -

We would love to explore an open adoption! We know how important it will be for our child to know where they came from and that through your love, they were able to come to our home. We'd love to get to know you, so please feel free to contact us with your questions.
