Manning Family Adoption
Lori and Joey
Santa Rosa Beach, FL
Update: We have been matched! We are adopting a baby girl due to be born in October!
We are the Manning Family; Joey, Lori and 2 year old Vanessa.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story.
We got married in 2019. After trying to conceive, Lori was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, a cancer that less than 2% of women who have not gone through menopause have and is extremely painful. We were devastated. After a long, hard road, Lori is now healthy and cancer free.
We adopted our beautiful daughter Vanessa in 2022. She is the light of our life and we feel so honored that we were chosen to be her parents. We are blessed to have a great relationship with Vanessa's birth family. Vanessa is such a loving little girl and will be an amazing big sister.
Thank you for the love and support as we start this journey.
