The Story of Us
Caleb and I have been married for 11 years. We started dating in high school after being set up on a blind date. After years of trying to get pregnant with no luck, we have decided that adoption is the path we need to travel inorder to have the family we are meant to have. We have thought about our future family and the path we are on takes us to Ethiopia to a handsome baby boy. This handsome little man is now home and we are soaking it all in.
