Holly: When we first started trying to have a baby and things weren’t working out, I was nervous that we might not ever get pregnant. I can’t even describe how I felt when the doctors told us it was true: we could not have children on our own. I was crushed—I couldn’t believe this was happening to us. I felt isolated from everyone around me. It’s really hard to be “the different one”—maybe you understand that too.
I can only say that I’m grateful that adoption is possible! Adoption is the only way I can be a mother. And I feel an overwhelming gratitude to our birthmothers, who have given us their ultimate trust in order to do what they feel is best for their babies.

Brett: In my life, the miracle of adoption has brought me so much joy. Playing with my kids is the best time of my day.
[Holly: Brett really is fun to watch with the kids. He’s such a kid himself, I can’t help but laugh!]
Brett: I am grateful to you for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. This is something Holly and I have wanted badly, but have been completely unable to do ourselves.
