Our Son Ty

LARRY GLENN JONES, III

WE CALL HIM TY LIKE A 3 WAY TIE.

Ty's birthday is 7-3-08. He weighed 7lbs. & 6oz. He was 20in. long. He has big eyes and dark hair and big feet. He was placed in our home 7-7-08 through an open adoption with Abrazo Adoption Associates. http://www.abrazo.org/

Our journey begins 5 years ago, we decided it was time to begin our family. We thought it would be easy. Boy were we wrong!! After 7 ARTS (artificial insemination treatments) & 2 leading infertility doctors, and corrective male factor surgery, we still were unsuccessful to conceive on our own or with the help with science or the latest technology, we moved towards adoption plans.

We attended an Abrazo Parent Orientation Weekend January 25-26, 2008. We turned in our application process in February and within the next 3 weeks we were receiving calls from potential birth mothers. We decided that an open adoption was the route we wanted to choose for our family. We received a call from a birth mom at the end of February. Her name is Shauna which means Gift from God.

WE OFFICIALLY MATCHED WITH SHAUNA 3-3-08.

Ty was born 4 months later.
