We were so blessed to have Tiffani and Kyla in our lives…

And we couldn’t wait to add to our family….

In October of 2004, after 6 years of marriage, we decided to start trying

for a baby…

After a year and half with no luck, we sought medical advice…

And found out we were infertile…

It was such a shock…

After some time and prayer,

We decided to try in-vitro with the same doctor who had helped Karin and

Wayne conceive Jack and Hannah
