“When I was 12 weeks pregnant, we made a loose decision to at least go to an adoption agency and see what our options were.
We came the conclusion that we were ready to make it work, but we were not willing to put a child through all of our personal and separate issues that we just haven’t worked out yet.
I went to the agency and was immediately relieved.  I don’t know what I thought it would be like, but I was impressed.  I could not and still cannot believe the love these women are all capable of. Their genuine willingness to help me was something I will be eternally grateful for.
By 17 weeks, we had worked out a few profiles to choose from. I instantly knew which family I would choose before I even read the profiles.  I purposely saved theirs for last, so that I would read all of them and give them all a fair judgment, but my baby already knew who his parents were supposed to be.
John and Shauna were everything we were looking for. We decided we wanted to find a family who could not have children of their own, who were not predominantly and overbearingly religious, and we wanted someone who was out of state.  They also happen to have personalities and hobbies that are extremely similar to mine and Jason’s.    
I was so overwhelmed when I realized “Right now I am hand picking two people to raise my baby for me.  I can’t believe this is really happening right now.” ”
