It is official...
We met the WONDERFUL family N, A, and A...we enjoyed a dinner together and got to know the family better. We feel the match was made by a power higher than ourselves. It was like we knew these people forever...the entire drive home Jason and I kept saying, 'Wow, this family is great, they could totally be our friends'...and with that in mind we knew this was the couple we hoped to begin this journey with...how fitting we found them during this special time of year. J and I ADORE them and their adorable daughter and we are SO happy we can help bring this miracle into the world for them!
We love you N A & A!

The Beginning...
So this is the beginning. It is hard to find a starting point, so let me just begin at how I stubbled upon this journey...
I am a 32 year old mom of 2 gorgeous girls, Kaylee is 20 months and Kiera is nearly 6 months. My pregnancies were very easy and getting pregnant was...well...even easier! I enjoyed both pregnancies. I enjoy the miracles that were created each and every day.
My faith pulled me in this direction, I am not sure of the exact moment it fell into place, but it was soon after the birth of Kiera. I had watched my sister battle infertility and seeing the toll it has taken on her killed me. I thought about her constantly and wished I could trade places with her a million times. In April 2008 after years of trying, she was Blessed with a baby girl, Grace. It was a long journey for her and I know it is a long journey for so many other couples like her.
In short, God called me to do this. I believe that 100%. I could not explain why I had this overwhelming feeling to give this to another couple, the feeling just appeared. At the time I was living in Michigan and was devastated when I researched surrogacy and found MI had unfavorable surrogacy laws. It was soon after our path took us back home to Jason's hometown in Lancaster County PA. It was then I learned surrogacy in PA was favorable and the move gave me a green light to go forward.
I found SMO (surro moms online) I researched surrogacy in even more detail and every bit I learned excited me even further. I placed an ad looking for a couple who needed a surro. I also spoke with a couple agencies. After floods of emails, I found the perfect couple...N, A &A whom were looking for a sibling for their adorable little angel, A. I had a gut feeling instantly they were the couple I wanted to embark upon this journey with. My wonderful husband, Jason, knew this was a path my faith was directing me down and he supported me 100%...so we continued to email and set up a meeting for Christmas time.
I began this journey with faith in the creation of a miracle and my goal is to Bless another family in the same way i've been Blessed....I would love for you to follow along.
