IRA is Celebrating her first birthday. : )
Congratulations Meriah and Conner – you made it.
We officially have a one year old! Ira is proficiently walking and is working on her stepping down and climbing (oh dear!). Ira’s favorite word in sign language is “milk” and uses it to its fullest capacity! She is growing in her patience with the car seat and with her quality and
length of sleep! Yay!
For Ira’s birthday yesterday we decorated with balloons and a banner and she ate most of her cupcake.
We are now on our first family trip and today we took Ira to the aquarium for the first time. Her favorite displays were the jellyfish as she loved the blue lights they used in the exhibits. Ira loves making new friends and is such a sweet personality interacting with other babies. She continues to bring us lots of belly laughs and smiles!

In this guidebook written by a veteran journalist-turned-adoptive father, learn everything you need to know about the embryo adoption process from your first call with an agency or fertility clinic to bringing baby home from the hospital. Told from a Christian perspective using personal, funny and downright jaw-dropping anecdotes from the author’s own adoption experience, this book will set your mind at ease by providing a clear roadmap for your adoption journey. Each chapter begins with a summary list of key themes and ends with a series of discussion questions designed to help prospective adoptive couples talk openly their hopes, fears and dreams throughout the adoption process. Packed with encouragement and advice that will save you precious energy, time and money on the road to adoption, this book will help loving moms and dads transform their parenting, bring precious embryo babies to term and affirm life in the era of in vitro fertilization.

Medical Moment for April 2025
Did You Know? Your baby’s cells stay with you after birth!
It’s common knowledge that mothers pass nutrition, DNA, maternal cells, and immunity, among many other things, to their babies when they are in the womb. And as mothers often say, their babies are always a part of them. While many mothers say this figuratively, scientists have discovered that if you’ve physically given birth, it’s literally true as well: Some of your baby’s DNA will always be present in your body, even after delivery.
When a baby is in the womb, a part of their DNA moves to the mother’s body through the placenta and embeds itself in the mother’s tissues, becoming a permanent part of her. This is why mothers are made from not only their own genetic material, but also the genetic material of their children. Scientists call this occurrence microchimerism.
This phenomenon has lifelong consequences on the mother’s body and health. Read on to learn how and why it occurs.
