We are a happy "traditional" family with two children. We wanted to have another child after waiting a couple years after our last was born, however, things in life just didn't align and we chose not to have another child - Which is where we made the mistake of being talked into my wife having her tubes tied and assured by the doctor it would never be an issue to reverse the procedure. We were very young and naive...
Fast forwards a few years and after speaking to multiple specialists it was determined the tubal could not be reversed.

With this said during that time we also seriously discussed adoption.
We both have personally wanted to adopt a child long before we had our own, but $25,000-$55,000 associated costs just was not realistic for us.

We are both early 30's with our children now aged 8 & 9. My wife is a stay at home mother, while my professional career provides financial stability.

We are praying if there is a child who needs a family we can bring them into our family and give a young life a bright future.
