Dustin and I (Landon) first talked about adoption shortly after getting married in 2007 and we both knew that it was something that we wanted to do. Dustin has experienced first hand the miracle of adoption as he and his older sister were both adopted as infants. He wanted to provide the same opportunities that he was given to other children. I have wanted to adopt since I was in the 3rd grade. It seemed only natural to Dustin and I that some of our children would join our family through adoption.
Four years after getting married, Dustin and I struggled to get and stay pregnant. We had two miscarriages before we were finally able to have Jackson. However, the pregnancy was beyond difficult and I spent 8 months on bed rest and in and out of the hospital for a myriad of complications (Hyperemesis Gravidarum, chronic dehydration, blood clots and heart problems). Jackson arrived a month early because my placenta abrupted and the labor and delivery were life threatening to both him and myself. Because all of the complications and risks would be present and more severe in subsequent pregnancies, we knew that I would be unable to have any more children.
Now here we are, married for 7 years and we have our darling little boy, but we feel like more members of our family our missing! We are open to adopting newborns, infants, toddlers, young children, and siblings. We are currently foster parents in California and truly love each of our foster kids completely. We are so excited to build our family through adoption and welcome more children into our home and our lives. We know that we will love them with all our hearts.
