Meet Greg & Heather:
We are the Spencers: Greg, Heather, Eliana, and Lynlee. We have blessed by the miracle of adoption
twice and are hoping to adopt again.
Greg and I met in 1993, when I was a freshman in college. After 8 years of marriage, including 6 years of infertility treatments, we reevaluated our plan for building a family. Adoption was the best choice for us, but it took me another 6 years to complete the adoption paperwork. After approval, we waited for about 2 ½ years for our first birth mom, T, to find us. She was looking at profiles on itsaboutlove.org and would click “random families” to have some profiles come up. She said that a few days in a row, every time she clicked “random families” our profile was there. Then she went to the search feature and put in every picky thing she wanted in a family, and 2 profiles came, 1 of which was ours. What a miracle! We love T so much and are so grateful to be a part of her life.
When Ellie was about a year old, we started the paperwork
process for adoption #2. We were about
halfway through the process when we got a call from the adoption supervisor at
our agency wanting to know if an expectant parent could contact us. Um, yes, please! M has a close relationship with T and had
watched our family for a year, and ultimately chose us to parent her baby. Another miracle! Our daughters are 15 months apart and it is
so much fun.We love to hang out as a family and with our extended
family. Greg is one of 10 children and I
am one of 5, and there are lots of cousins and in-laws close by. We love taking road trips and going on walks
and playing at the park. Maybe our
favorite thing is to cuddle up by the fire and play with our daughters.
