Dave and Jess
We met in college at Texas Tech University and were married in 2000. We knew that one day we would
have children and teach them about all of the things we love to do...traveling, water skiing, camping. We
began trying to have a baby in 2004. After years of failed infertility treatments, we realized that a biological
child was not in our future. Although we had talked about the idea of adoption from the beginning of our
journey, actually accepting the loss of the biological child we would never have was difficult.
We talked extensively with our family and friends about our decision to pursue adoption. We prayed about
the decision that we were making and the one that our future child’s birthparents would have to make. We
read books and talked with other adoptive parents and knew that we were not interested in a childless
existence. We both came to the same realization...adoption was what we were meant to do and we were
exactly where we were meant to be.
Now here we are, nine years into our marriage, five years after making the decision to have a baby, finally
realizing that we WILL be a family. It is no longer an IF – like with infertility treatments – it’s a WHEN! We
are working hard to become a complete family and we know in our hearts that there is a child out there that
needs us as a mother and father. Our dedication to this process is endless, but unfortunately, our funds
are limited.
The biggest part of our life right now is fundraising for adoption. The truth is that no cost is too great to
keep us from our soon-to-be child. God has gotten us this far and we know that He’ll provide for the
adoption fee, too. Regardless of our faith, we want to be proactive. We are going to make this happen
$1.00 at a time! And in the process, we are going to raise awareness for the beautiful miracle of adoption!
