Mike and I have been married since the spring of 2011 and after a couple months decided to try to have a baby. We later found out that we both had medical issues that would make it difficult. This was devastating for both of us. We tried various procedures, surgeries, and medications and after 2 ½ years, we finally got pregnant through IVF. Ella Grace is now 2 ½ years old. After her first birthday, we decided to try for baby #2. The same procedure that gave us Ella didn’t work after 3 attempts and 1 miscarriage. We struggled with what we wanted to do next. We considered letting Ella be an only child, but even at a young age, we can see her desire to be around a baby and be a big sister. And more than anything, our family doesn’t feel complete. We have the desire in our hearts to be parents again and we believe adoption is the path for us.

The Cromer Story
Amy and I were married right after college in 2006. We always had a dream of having a family but unfortunately as we found out, we both had fertility issues. However, our desire to be parents never dwindled. Our faith led us to the decision to adopt. We don't see adoption as a second choice, but rather the answer to our family. My wife and I are both in healthcare and our desire to serve others also made adoption an easy option and a natural fit for us. We have an amazing support group of family and friends including friends with small kids. We desire to be a parent to at least two children; and have entered into the domestic and china special needs program.
