A warm welcome for Matt & Courtney

Please let us introduce ourselves. We are Matt and Courtney. This lovely blog is for prospective birth parents to get to know us a little better. We want this blog to be a place where we can share more openly who we are as a family. We want to share the things we do that make us Matt and Courtney. Keep checking back!

Well, we might as well start at the beginning! Here's our story of why we're hoping to adopt someone special!

We decided a few years ago that we wanted to expand our family. We, of course, started trying...We heard it's supposed to be pretty easy. lol But about 18 months later we found out that we aren't physically able to conceive children. After numerous doctor visits and many hours in prayer we decided that our family would grow through adoption. We felt that it didn't matter if we aren't physically able to bear children...we are physically, spiritually, and emotionally able to be PARENTS! We strongly believe that family is what you make it! That you don't have to be born into a family to belong there. And by the sealing powers of the priesthood, the children that we parent, will enjoy the blessings of an eternal family.
