The road to building a family is different for everyone. The more I have shared our own journey, the more people I seem to know that have also faced struggles and challenges along the way. I have been pretty open about our own IVF and adoption struggles, but even 10 years later it hits me like a crashing wave when I hear of someone else’s struggles. All the pain, the struggles and the hope wrapped up in one sentence: adventure awaits.
It’s part of why I am such a firm believer in documenting all journeys– there is not a single family story that doesn’t deserve to be shared and shouted from the rooftops.
“Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone, But still miraculously my own. Never forget for a single minute, you didn’t grow under my heart but in it.”
—Fleur Conkling Heyliger
If you are adopting, fostering, embarking on fertility treatments…you are still building something beautiful and wonderful that should be shared.
This darling couple had a session to announce to their family they will be becoming foster parents- but the session was about so much more than that. It is about the love between two humans and the love they are ready to share with the world.
Don’t hold back- dive into the adventure with a photo session today!
