The Wise Adoption Fund
Shelby and Jordan
Mead, OK
For 11 years, we've built our life side by side, evolving from high school sweethearts into lifelong partners. Our journey together has always been filled with shared dreams: dreams of grand adventures, of growing old together, and above all, dreams of building a family. From the very beginning, we've envisioned raising a child with the same love, kindness, and joy that defines our relationship.
After marrying a year and a half ago, our path to parenthood took an unexpected turn. Despite our deepest hopes and efforts, we faced the heartache of infertility. The cycle of trying, hoping, and facing disappointment month after month was truly overwhelming. Yet, through every challenge, we leaned on each other, our bond strengthened by our unwavering belief in our dream.
After years of this emotional struggle, we made the profound decision to pursue adoption. While always a consideration, it became clear this was the path meant for us to welcome a child into our family. For us, adoption isn't just hope; it feels like a sacred calling. As we stand at the threshold of this new chapter, our hearts are overflowing with love and excitement for the child who will one day call us "Mom" and "Dad".
