Our Adoption Journey

Dear Friends and Family,

Nicole and I want to take the time to share our journey in adoption with you. We have been married 5 years and have been trying to have a baby ever since.  I believe we do not have infertility, but that we have been so wrapped up in wanting to have a baby for 5 years we didn’t pay attention to his calling. Which we strongly feel in our hearts is adoption. We decided to share our very personal experience with you in hopes that we can adopt in our near future.

Nicole and I have gone through many cycles of medication and have gone through 5 IUI (intrauterine insemination) Procedures, Nicole had surgery and I have been through extensive testing as well. All has come back unsuccessful and unexplained. We have looked into IVF (invitro), but Nicole and I feel that God has placed adoption in our hearts instead. We both feel that we will have a baby naturally in God’s timing and that right now he is calling us to adopt.  I

Nicole has always wanted to help care for a child that is in need. Many of you know Nicole and if she could she would take home and care for every baby she ever came across. Nicole just seems to keep growing her heart as if it were bigger than the whole world! Her faith in God is so amazing to see unfold and the strength he placed in her is unbelievable!  She is an amazing mother to our daughter Ashlynn and has so much love to give. It’s never ending.

My wife and I decided that after two deployments overseas for Operation Iraqi Freedom it is finally time to pursue our dreams of having a baby. I am a recruiter stationed stateside for the next 2 years so we can embark on this journey together. Our 7 year old daughter is so excited to be a big sister in the near future as well! We believe that Ashlynn should be in every part of this journey with us. She is an amazing little girl who is so enthusiastic about adoption and has a huge heart like her mommy.

We have set up an account for donations. We simply are asking for any donation.  5$, 10$ or anything you feel in your heart to give. All money received will be directly dispersed to our adoption agency. If we receive more then we need, we will be donating it to Ashlynn’s elementary school for the arts center to help enrich the minds of our young children through performing arts and music.   We would greatly appreciate any donations received and want to thank you in advance for helping us make our adoption journey come true.

Thank You,

Brandon, Nicole, and Ashlynn
