About Me
My husband and I have been trying to have a family for 5 years. We have decided to adopt a child from the Washington state foster care program, and resently brought two children home. We are working through the six month waiting period before papers are signed, we are about half way through. My husband works in corrections, and I am an EMT. We have a love for life and enjoy sharing it with others. We like going camping, on day trips, visiting family, and taking our dogs (pugs) Asia and Mya for a walk. We are excited to share our home, life, and family with our children that needed a home.
Interests
I love being an EMT!, camping, walking my dog, reading, music, a good laugh, and I love a good movie or TV show that makes me think.

Close Adoption
My husband & I resently brought our kids home. We are adopting from DSHS and will start the actual adoption soon. Our children are beautiful and can't wait to be over with the whole process.
Close Infertility
Type: Ovarian IssuesMy husband & I have tried to have a baby for 5 years. We have tried Clomid, HCG, & IUI. With our resent additions through adoption we have stopped treatment. I had to have an IUD placed to ease the pain of PCOS and Endometriosis.
Treatments
- Adoption Working / Worked
- We are adopting a little girl and boy through DSHS.
- Artificial Insemination Too Soon to Tell
- We only did this once and I didn't get pregnant.
- Clomid Not Working
- This worked in partnership with HCG to force the egg out. My PCOS prevented the egg from coming out without the HCG. This treatment is painful for me. No longer working.
- hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Working / Worked
- Worked in addition to Clomid. No longer working.
- HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Working / Worked
- Metformin Too Soon to Tell
- I just started so I don't know if it is working or will work yet.
Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
I resently brought home my two children that we are adopting. I am over weight and want to show my kids how to eat right and live healthy.
Treatments
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- Eat Less Working / Worked
- I need to start this again. Also I need to cut back on the sugar in my diet.
- Physical Exercise Too Soon to Tell
- I try to at least take my kids for a walk every day. It is harder when the weather is colder but I will try to take them to the mall to walk when it is too cold outside.
- Weight Watchers Considering
