Our Adoption Q & A

Since our first post we have had a lot of questions about our adoption journey. We wanted to answer those questions as much as possible. So here goes. Josh and Shalee present.....

Our Adoption Q and A
Q: Are you already matched with a birth family?
A: No, we are hoping through family and friends sharing our story we will find a birth family who feels we are a good match. 

Q: What agency are you using?
A: We are not connected with an agency right now. We are hoping for a private, domestic adoption but are not ruling anything out for the future.

Q: What age child would you like to adopt?
A: We would like to adopt an infant if possible. But, we are open to consider all options.

Q: What type of adoption (open, semi-open, closed) would you like to have?
A: We would love to have an open or semi-open adoption, depending on the comfort level of the birth family.

Q: Why are you adopting?
A: For lots of reasons. We love children and want very much to have a family and we believe adoption is a wonderful way for two families to come together and make a difficult, amazing, choice together.

Q: How can I, as your family, friend, coworker, acquaintance, help?
A:The biggest way you can help us is by sharing our story. Whether that be through social media or word of mouth. It takes a village.
We cannot express fully how much love and support we have felt in jumping into this journey. We truly have the most wonderful family and friends anyone could ask for.

Aunt Becca

Name: Aunt Becca Current career: Full-time student Future career: Speech Language Pathologist Favorite food: I don't know if I can say I have one favorite, but I do love anything that involves pasta and all forms of the beloved potato.

Of course, spending time together is the best part. I do have a few favorite vacations that top the list.  1-Hawaii-It was just so beautiful and peaceful there. There were so many natural wonders to see. Also, the Polynesian Cultural Center was one of the most fun places we have ever visited. We learned and saw so much!

NaNa Bambi

Name: NaNa (Bambi) Career: In the past I have had the pleasure of working in the school district doing the lunch clerical job. Where I loved being able to get to know all the kids on a one on one basis. These relationships I made have continued on thru the years where I now see these kids married and starting families. My career took a change when my husband bought my fathers Auto Body Repair business 30 years ago. I have had the wonderful blessing of working by my husbands side managing the front office during these years. Favorite food: I'm probably a Mexican kinda girl. But love to try new salads and other dishes as long as someone else is fixing them! I would rather have a cookie or a finger treat rather than cake, pie, and ice cream (totally opposite of the rest of my family) Hobbies: My first and foremost is the love of yard work. Kris & I both grew up in families where beautiful yards where important. I love canning the great things grown in our garden and orchard,...
