Matt & Courtney - a fun-loving couple in Michigan hoping to adopt
This week's spotlight is especially meaningful to us because our sweet Ruby was born in Dearborn and we spent our first two weeks with her in Michigan as we waited to bring her home. We met some very loving and generous families while we were there that helped the miracle of her adoption happen.
Please take a moment to get to know Matt and Courtney. You can find out more about them and contact them by visiting their online profile:

Please let us introduce ourselves. We are Matt and Courtney. We want to share more openly who we are as a family. We want to share the things we do that make us Matt and Courtney.
Well, we might as well start at the beginning! Here's our story of why we're hoping to adopt someone special! We decided a few years ago that we wanted to expand our family. We, of course, started trying...We heard it's supposed to be pretty easy. lol But about 18 months later we found out that we aren't physically able to conceive children. After numerous doctor visits and many hours in prayer we decided that our family would grow through adoption.
We felt that it didn't matter if we aren't physically able to bear children...we are physically, spiritually, and emotionally able to be PARENTS! We strongly believe that family is what you make it! That you don't have to be born into a family to belong there. And by the sealing powers of the priesthood, the children that we parent, will enjoy the blessings of an eternal family.
