I am sorry that i have been a slacker in blogging. I just didnt want to overload my blog with unhappy posts and while we truly are greatly blessed, it has been hard for me not to focus on the sad things. This post does have a little bit of sad, but also some hope and a request for help. First off, after several months of waiting, we finally got the headstone for our little boys. They finally have their resting place marked so all can know they were here and now they have the proper place to put flowers, so now the gardner cant steal mine! We are really pleased how it came out, and we are very glad that their plot is no longer just a mound of dirt! Since losing our twins, my optimism for having a family has really decreased significantly, but our desires have only gotten stronger. Unfortunately we have already suffered another miscarriage since our boys, which only brings more dismay. So while we will forever try to get our own little ones here, we are turning to adoption to assist us with our desires to have a family until we are blessed to have our own. We are looking into adoption with the State of Arizona. This course began in March when we almost had the opportunity to get a cute little 6 week old girl through some friends. The birth father ended up stepping in, so, now we wait to see if he changes his mind and decides to let us have her or to see what else Heavenly Father has in store for us. All the websites I have read, have stated that many adoptions come through personal contacts, so I am reaching out to our family and friends. If you know of a little one who is need of a good home, or have any recommendations or connections for adoption, we would really appreciate your help. I know that we will be able to have a family someday. Heavenly Father has promised both Eldon and I in our patriachal blessings the blessing of raising a family, but we may need help in getting our family here. We ask that you continue to keep us in your prayers that we might be guided by our Father in Heaven and be able to know his will for us and to follow it, and if adoption is his plan, that we might be led to the little one/s that are meant to join our family. We appreciate all the love and support we have recieved in our recent trials and heartaches and hope that future posts can be filled with more happy news.

Hey I was just checking blogs for the first time in a LONG Time and here you are!
- Have you tried the LDS Family Services too? They are a great resource. It's cheaper there too. My friends are adopting from there in a month.
I will ask around at church too.
Good luck!
We will definitely keep you in our thoughts and prayers. I know Heavenly Father will bless you guys with a wonderful little child that will love and adore you and Eldon. You guys will be such great parents. I will keep my ears open for any news on adoption for you guys.
Glad you're back! I need more things to read during the day. :)
My mother in law, Luanna Hatch told me about your blog. Luke and I lost our Little Evanvaline on Feb 12th, 2010 when I was 17 weeks along. The miscarriage came as a total shock and after almost 3 months of waiting we finally found out that he little body was perfect. They think that a abnormal cord length may be to blame. We held a service and burried her little body on the 24th of Feb. I too feel a great need to validate her existance by talking and sharing about her just as you do with you precious little boys. I was thankful for your blogs. You can check ours out at www.canadianhatchs.blogspot.com
Sorry for your loss, Summer
We too are going the adoption route to expand our family. My husband and I are looking into Catholic Charities fost to adopt program. The fost to adopt insures a child much faster, and much of the cost of adoption is decreased. I wish you the best of luck and will as always, you are in my prayers.
I am glad you got the headstone, it looks very nice!!
And although I really don't know of any connections to adoption, I do wish you both the best of luck in this endeavor and will be praying for you!
Love you!!
Talk to Pat and Heather - they know a lot of good info on adoption. We will continue to keep you in our prayers. Losing loved ones is hard - we do think of you.
