When I was growing up, all I really wanted to do was marry the man of my dreams and start a family. I married the man of my dreams but the family part was not able to be, at least not biologically the way most people plan. We made the decision to adopt an infant.

My wife and I were not blessed with the ability to bear children. We were pregnant 8 times and each time there was a problem, causing my wife to lose the baby. I promised myself if I was ever allowed to become a father I would do the very best I could do as a parent.
