We're Adopting! We've completed all necessary paperwork and the home study. On March 3rd, we were chosen! Baby boy is due July 22nd, 2020.
As many of you know, our journey to start a family has not been easy. We've endured many failed IVF cycles over the last 5 years. When we finally had a successful transfer and conceived twins, we were over the moon. We were devastated that at 23 weeks they were born due to premature labor.
We spent some time healing and decided that adoption would be our next steps in starting the family we have been longing for.
As you may or may not know, adoption is very expensive and any support you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Latest Update
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to our adoption fund. We are truly blessed to have so many wonderful and generous people in our lives. Your generosity has allowed us to stay in Florida, close to Jacob for his entire NICU stay. Many families are not able to achieve this, as 1 or both parents have to go back to work. This fund has allowed us to pay for Airbnb's near the hospital and not stress about lodging during our time here. We are so thankful for all of you.

Tomorrow Jacob will be 4 weeks old. What a crazy, hectic, amazing four weeks it's been. Between teaching online and Nicu visits, the time has flown by. Jacob is doing well and we are so grateful.

Our July baby is here! We are shocked, scared and excited. Jacob Allen Stubbs was born at 27 weeks on April 27th. He is two pounds and so far all NICU reports have been positive. Hoping the good reports continue.

Puzzle Fundraiser Why? Because all of you are important to us and we have appreciated all your love and support over the years. We have created a 252 piece puzzle and are 'selling' the pieces for $10. When you donate $10 or more your name will be added to a puzzle piece. The completed puzzle will be displayed in Little Boy's nursery.
