GREAT NEWS! We've decided to adopt! For years we have dreamed of becoming parents and sharing our love with a child of our own. Life's roller coaster has made it a very difficult ride of ups and downs, but we decided together this was the Journey we feel we are destined for. We have thought and prayed, met with friends, and attended an information meeting that led us to where we are now.  We're so excited to give a child an opportunity to grow up in our home and teach him or her the best things that we know and share the values we have been taught by our parents, and share the love with our family and friends.

We've started a fundraiser on Pure Charity to help raise the funding that we need to make our adoption a success. As many of you know and have inquired, Adoption is a costly process but the fees go to many parts of it. These include the home study, classes Tim and I will attend, background checks, inspections, work with our social worker, services for the birth mother, legal fees, and placement of Baby Snyder when the time comes and we are blessed with that call.  It's been our dream to help give a child an opportunity like this and we hope that you will consider helping us make our dream a reality.

It was suggested for us to start this page, not only for fundraising, but to share our Journey as we go through the different stages of the process.  We greatly appreciate thoughts, prayers, and support in any way. We have been overwhelmed with the messages, texts, calls we have received already from our family and friends. You all mean the world to us and Baby Snyder is already loved even though he/she is still only growing in our hearts.

Thank you so much for being a part of our lives and helping accomplish something that's important to us!
