The "G" Family
We are absolutely overjoyed to share that we are now proud parents to a beautiful baby girl! Our hearts are overflowing! We are ecstatic that she is now here with us, and this journey has truly been a dream fulfilled.
From the very beginning, adoption was a meaningful and prayerful part of our story. After facing infertility and two unsuccessful IVF cycles, we leaned into the belief that there are many paths to parenthood; and we trusted that God would guide us in the right timing.
Throughout the entire process, we never felt alone. Families by Adoption, LLC / Godwin & Horst, Attorneys at Law was by our side from the very first conversation. Their compassion, guidance, and reassurance gave us confidence and peace when emotions were high or decisions felt overwhelming. We are deeply grateful for Ray, Lori, Marion, and the full adoption team for everything they poured into our family.
Marion was our main point of contact during the matching process and beyond, and her presence was invaluable. She communicated with us constantly; answered every question; and made us feel seen, supported, and cared for. Knowing that she was there for us gave us strength, clarity, and comfort.
When our baby girl was born, we were given the priceless opportunity to meet the birth mother and her family at the hospital. This was a remarkable experience beyond anything we could have imagined. Even the hospital team embraced us with love. The doctors, nurses, housekeepers, and food service staff all welcomed us as first-time parents and made us feel like we truly belonged. We will forever remember their kindness.
We are so grateful that Ray and his team prepared us for every step of this journey. Today, we are parents to a precious baby girl, and we give God the glory for the answer to so many prayers. Our hearts are filled with joy, peace, and endless gratitude for the path that brought us here and for every person who supported us along the way.
