We can imagine a life without children, but why would we? We had given up and were designing a life as a childless couple, but we just couldn't bare it.  We want a future filled with the joy and richness that having children brings.

For the past several years we have been trying to have biological children.  We have tried IUI, IVF, fertility drugs and had one miraculous pregnancy followed by a devastating miscarriage.  At the end of all that, we realized that our babies are coming from another mother.  We might be slow, but we finally got it!

Now that we know we are adopting, we are experiencing what they call an emotional pregnancy. We are excited and afraid and we feel blessed (and afraid!) and there is so much to prepare and we don't know how it will all get done. What we do know is that we have so much love that we want more beings to love. And to dance and laugh with and snuggle and kiss and hug and hold and tickle...

Steve and I have a lot. We have a beautiful home and careers we love so it feels a little uncomfortable to be asking for help. Here's the truth, we have tapped out our 401K loans and we must come up with the money before we can be presented to the birth mothers.  While we can save the money overtime, we thought if we looked to our community we might not have to do it all alone.  We (including *Hearn Babies) would be grateful for your contribution. 

We have a donations goal of $29,500 that will go towards the initial cost of the adoption.

Every donation is important and will help make this adoption a success. 

All donations made through Pure Charity are tax deductible and disbursed directly to Gladney Center for Adoption.  

We also appreciate your willingness to share this with others who may want to participate. Check out the sharing options at the bottom right of this page.

*Hearn Babies - I (Cherie) have always pictured having twins, so I want them to know that they are both welcome. (and that we love them and can't wait to meet them...)
