Embryo Adoption :: Our Journey {2018 Part 2}

For 2018, we focused on chasing around Eli and Maddie, and welcoming Aiden into our family! We are forever thankful for the gift of Embryo Adoption, and it's crazy to think that our journey to building our family has come to a close.

**I only provided links for my first 13 weeks of a baby bump in the previous 2018 post, since we didn't make any public announcements until after that. The rest of my pregnancy weeks can be found further in the list below :) **

-------

In the most basic sense, our Embryo Adoption journey has come to an end. We have given all of our adopted embryos a chance at life, and we will not be pursuing additional embryos. But in other ways, there is still so much more left to write into our Embryo Adoption story. We have 3 beautiful snowflake babies, and now we have the task of parenting these sweet ones. We have already started sharing their unique story with them, and we know that will evolve as the years pass, as their understanding increases, and as their questions arise. I also want to continue being an advocate for the Embryo Adoption community; I want other families to know about this amazing option!
