Family has always been one of the greatest gifts in my life.

As the oldest of six children, I grew up surrounded by siblings, and today I have the joy of being Aunt NayNay to ten incredible nieces and nephews. Watching my family grow over the years has only deepened my desire to one day have a family of my own.

My interest in adoption began during college as I watched friends build their families through domestic adoption, international adoption, and foster care adoption. What started as curiosity gradually became something much deeper. Over the years, adoption remained on my heart as I learned more about the process and witnessed the beauty, complexity, and love involved in these stories.

Over the last several years, I have spent time praying, seeking wise counsel from people I trust, and exploring different paths to parenthood. Through that process, I became increasingly confident that adoption was not simply an option I was considering, but the path I felt called to pursue.

Today, I am taking the first steps toward domestic infant adoption through Adoption Network Law Center (ANLC). While I know there are many unknowns ahead, I am excited to begin this journey and trust God with each step along the way.

My hope is simple: to welcome a child into a loving home, build a family together, and embrace all of the joys, challenges, and adventures that come with motherhood.
