Amy and I tried for seven years to conceive a child. After meeting with doctors who referred us to other doctors who then suggested we see fertility specialists, we were officially diagnosed with "undiagnosed infertility."
We decided to pursue domestic infant adoption through Bethany Christian Services, and after just three months of waiting, God brought us Josiah!
Four months later, to our shock and amazement, Amy discovered she was pregnant!On Dec. 1, 2008, Annica Grace (Annie) was born.
