+ Dear Friend...

Hello...Our names are Mic and Nicole (or as our nieces and nephews say, "Micandnicole"--like we are one entity :) and we are so thrilled that you are taking the time to learn about our family! We feel very fortunate to be able to build our eternal family through the blessing of adoption and are hoping that through this limited space we have that you will start to get an idea of who we are, and more importantly--that you will be able to see how important family is to us.

We tried to include anything you could ever want to know.  And under "More About Us" to your right you can find out even more!  We know that even after you search our blog that there are probably other things that you would still like to know; please feel free to send us a message anytime! (Our contact information is on the right). We would love to hear from you!

+ Why Adoption...

We always knew we wanted to have children. About two years into our marriage, we felt it was time. After much time, surgery, quite a few procedures and many prayers from Mic and I (as well as much love, support, prayers and fasting from our families)—still there was no success.

We were still very hopeful because even though we weren't sure when our family would happen for us, we knew that our Heavenly Father was with us 100% of the way, and that things would happen as they should, and in the timing they should. We always knew that Heavenly Father had our children waiting with Him in heaven. We just needed to find the right way for them to come to our family...through adoption. We have been blessed immeasurably by our decision. We have been at peace ever since we have decided adoption is right for our family.

We are excited to start our family, whether it is with one child or with twins! Though this is not the way that we initially thought our family would start, we do know we will love our children from the first knowledge of their existence, because love is the most amazing and natural thing! Our children (however they come) will have more love in their life than they, or we, could ever express with words. Children are the greatest blessing we could hope for! We are also very fortunate to have the love, support and prayers of our families. Each and every one of them has been there with us on our journey to this point, and we know they are excited for these next steps!

+ Thinking of you...

We know that you have many difficult decisions in your near future, decisions that we will not pretend to understand. However, we want you to know of the love we have for you and your child. We have complete confidence that you will make the best decisions for you and your baby. This must be foremost on your mind because of the immeasurable love you have for your child. We pray that you will feel God's love for you as you are guided by Him in making these decisions.

We want you to know of our testimony of our Heavenly Father. We feel very blessed to know that he wants the very best for all His children here on Earth. Please know that even though we have never met, you are in our thoughts and prayers each day. We pray that Heavenly Father's love will be a comfort to you while you ponder the decisions you are making for yourself and for this child that you love so dearly.

With much love, and gratitude,
Mic and Nicole
