As many of you have probably seen, Josh and Ashley recently shared an update with family and friends. They are very appreciative of those of you who have been supportive of their journey. Their family and close friends have been so uplifting during this difficult time.
The last few years have brought several difficult things their way. They have persevered through Josh's Dad's tragic death, not only to be followed by their only grandmother, Beamomma passing not long after. They have had to grow up quickly, as they dealt with both affairs.
After their wonderful wedding in May of 2017, they quickly began trying to grow their family. Their fertility journey began quickly, as they found that Ashley had endometriosis in March of 2018. Since then, Ashley has had 4 surgeries, they have made several trips to California after they went through several doctors here in the DFW area, and Josh underwent fertility testing. In August of 2018, Ashley had an egg retrieval where several eggs were retrieved, then fertilized and are now their emby babies, as Ash calls them.
They had their first embryo transfer in October of 2018. Sadly, the transfer resulted in an early miscarriage. They then learned that Ashley's uterine lining is the main source of their problem. Following two more surgeries, they were finally able to transfer two emby babies in August of this year. At close to 7 weeks it became apparent Ashley was going to lose these babies, as well.
After the heartbreak of two tragic losses, they knew where God was leading them. He was leading them back to a place close to Ashley's heart. She worked there as an intern in her masters program - Gladney Center for Adoption. Since then, adoption has always had a special place in her heart. After several serious discussions, they knew God was opening their hearts. They attended Gladney’s orientation in early October, and are beginning the long application journey now.
It is a very involved process, emotionally and financially. They
are so excited, but know that patience, open mindedness and faith will
have to be their motto during this next phase of their journey.
They want to keep family and friends up to date along this
journey and plan to do that via Facebook and here, also. Thank you to
those who have already been there for them with your prayers and
love. All funds raised go straight to their Gladney Fund and help
them get one step closer to a baby in their arms. Thank you so much
for the love and support!!
