The Beginning !

This is our very first blog ! We have decided to start this blog to keep up with our journey because we know it is one we will want to look back over and remember.

So how did this all start ? We have always wanted to adopt, and knew that adoption would be a part of our story and how we would grow our family one day. We also knew that adoption would be a long process which is why we decided to start sooner rather than later. We initially thought we would foster-to-adopt but for various reasons we decided international adoption was best for our family. We researched and looked around six months before we decided to make “The Call”- and it took about a month to find our agency ! We love them !

Why Bulgaria ? We initially looked into a few other countries but none of them felt right. Also because of our ages we were limited to a few countries. But now that we have our agency and our country we couldn’t imagine any other place ! We know our perfect child is in Bulgaria waiting for us ! We are so excited to begin this process and start the journey of completing our family through adoption.

Most of the people in our lives are super excited for us and are happy to be apart of this journey. A few people have asked why we would want to adopt since we are young and perfectly capable of having children of our own, the answer is simple really. We have always wanted to grow our family through adoption and we think that another child will be a beautiful addition to our two beautiful children we already have.

A little about us: Ashton is a stay at home mom to our amazing sweet little ones. Ethan is 3 years old and the typical get dirty, play hard boy. Ashlyn is our little stinker ! She is 9 months old and learning to walk. We are so blessed to have them in our lives ! Ashton is a birth doula, and student, graduating in the spring of 2015. Tony works hard to provide for our family and we could not do what we do without him. He is our rock and is such a wonderful husband and dad ! Tony works for a call center in our area and is amazing at his job !

Stay tuned for more updates :)
Thank you so much for reading our (short first post) blog ! We will continue writing every so often to let everyone know our progress <3
