The chance to love, care for, and support a child who needs it means everything to us. Originally, we planned to grow our family biologically first and adopt later, but God had other plans.</p> <p style="font-size: 1rem; font-family: -apple-system, 'Helvetica Neue'; border-color: #313131; color: #313131;" data-removefontsize="true" data-originalcomputedfontsize="16">Three years ago, at just 22, I was diagnosed with Pelvic Congestion Syndrome, a condition that caused severe pain and left me bedridden. After much heartache and prayer, I chose to undergo a hysterectomy, letting go of the dream of carrying our child but embracing adoption as our true calling.</p> <p style="font-size: 1rem; font-family: -apple-system, 'Helvetica Neue'; border-color: #313131; color: #313131;" data-removefontsize="true" data-originalcomputedfontsize="16">Our confidence in this journey stems from caring for a young boy in 2017, who taught us what love, patience, and parenthood really mean. Saying goodbye to him was difficult, but it guided us to where we are now.</p> <p style="font-size: 1rem; font-family: -apple-system, 'Helvetica Neue'; border-color: #313131; color: #313131;" data-removefontsize="true" data-originalcomputedfontsize="16">We believe our child is already loved by so many, and we can’t wait to meet the missing piece of our family. With your help, we are working toward making this dream a reality. Every contribution—big or small—brings us closer to giving a child the life they deserve, filled with love, support, and a village ready to welcome them.</p> <p style="font-size: 1rem; font-family: -apple-system, 'Helvetica Neue'; border-color: #313131; color: #313131;" data-removefontsize="true" data-originalcomputedfontsize="16">Thank you for being part of our journey.</p> <p style="font-size: 1rem; font-family: -apple-system, 'Helvetica Neue'; border-color: #313131; color: #313131;" data-removefontsize="true" data-originalcomputedfontsize="16">With love and gratitude,</p> <p style="font-size: 1rem; font-family: -apple-system, 'Helvetica Neue'; border-color: #313131; color: #313131;" data-removefontsize="true" data-originalcomputedfontsize="16">John &amp; Breanna</p> &nbsp;
