Our Story

“Was it about being pregnant, or about being a mother?” A question I asked myself in the middle of this chapter of our story...

From September 2015 to April 2018, we endured several losses. We had high quality treatment and spent thousands of dollars to carry full term. It didn’t happen. It was painful, hard and discouraging. Our healing was a process. It looked different for each of us, but the one thing we knew to cling to was hope. It’s best defined as the expectation of something good happening. We never lost sight of it.

In May of 2018, it was time to pursue adoption. We chose an agency and began raising funds. Our family and friends helped us sell t-shirts, put together a garage sale and a pop up store. We were blown away. Mother’s Day of 2018 will forever be a memory etched in our hearts. An anonymous donor put $24,000 in the offering basket at our church on behalf of our adoption. It was a miracle! By August of 2018, we were officially a waiting family. At any point, we could be chosen to be parents. This was another journey in itself. There was still more waiting. From August to January, we had several birth moms choose us in their top two selections. February 2019, we got the call of our lives! A birth mom chose us. After viewing seven other families that day, she chose us! We were finally going to be parents!

When we saw that little face that looked nothing like us for the first time, it was a holy moment. We began to realize that if God wouldn’t have spent that extra time on us, shaping us, molding us and awakening us, we wouldn’t be there holding our baby and being asked to be her parents. We wouldn’t have known that the disappointment of experiencing losses month after month could become the most beautiful thing we’ve ever seen while we were holding our precious baby girl. Had the other pregnancies stuck, she would have never been our little miracle. We were and still are beyond grateful for the birth mom and her sacrificial love. It changed us.

Exactly eleven days after our baby girl was born, we found out we were pregnant! I ran out into the kitchen area, waiving the pregnancy test above my head screaming, crying and laughing, "Babe, I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant!" The embrace felt like Christmas morning. Tears filled our eyes. We knew this baby was going to stay. God did it! This little miracle boy came at the most perfect time. Simply put, our lives will never be the same. For me, it was about motherhood and I was willing to step into it however it looked. But it turned out better than expected! Our mission at HopeBag™ Co. is to encourage those in the waiting and give back ten percent of each purchase to families pursuing adoption. Thank you for sowing into our company. We pray blessings and miracles over you and yours.
