" I was fortunate enough to spend time with Joshua and Katie shortly after they adopted Chloe and then later was able to be with them shortly after they adopted Oliver, and each time I remember feeling very strongly of the palpable love and protective care they felt over each of their children. Being able to witness their journey as parents especially in those first few days were experiences that changed my heart in a powerful way. The work, anticipation, heartbreak, and perseverance that they have put into creating and caring for their family is truly an inspiration to me, and my husband, children, and I can't even imagine our lives without Joshua, Katie, Chloe, and Oliver. As a family they are kind, adventurous, and lifelong learners that are committed to their continual growth. I don't know how I got so lucky to be related to them, but I have been a recipient of their fierce and genuine love, and as cheesy as this sounds, I wholeheartedly believe that their current and future children are and will be some of the best-loved children in the world.
