First Annual UIRC Conference

Our hearts are exploding right now! We attended the first annual Utah Infertility Conference today organized by Utah Infertility Resource Center. It was very educational and super touching. The "Pathways To Parenthood" lunch panel was really informative as different families bravely shared their individual stories from embryo adoption, surrogacy, adoption, IVF and choosing a childless life. The classes were very informative and I could tell they were so good for Blake as they reassured him of some of his feelings he's felt throughout our infertility. The BEST part was that we won our adoption home study from @utahadoptionspecialists. I couldn't sleep last night in anticipation of this moment and when they called my name, my whole body was shaking with excitement. I know this must sound really strange to have that reaction but this was huge for us! We wanted this win so much! I am truly #grateful for how smoothly things have gone so far since we made the decision to choose #adoption in August. My eyes are filling with tears as I write this because this journey just feels so right. I am humbled by it all. Even though there are so many amazing women involved with both of these organizations, I particularly want to give a huge amount of love to two very influential women in my life now that have given me hope and positive direction so far in this journey. Thank you Kim and Camille

Adoption Journal

I received our adoption journal from Promptly Journals today! This little book is quickly becoming my prized possession. I'm excited to fill out every detail from finding our baby through adoption, to our babies birth story until he or she turns 18 yrs old! Thank you Promptly Journals for making an adoption journal! I'm forever grateful!!!
