Pete & Amanda Birdsong
We’re Pete and Amanda Birdsong, and we’re so grateful you’re here to learn about our story! Married, now for 16 years, our love has grown through faith, shared dreams, and a commitment to building a life together.
We are blessed with three beautiful biological children: our daughters; Addison (age 10) and Logan Grace (age 4) and our son; Judah (age 2). Our path to parenthood hasn’t been without heartache. After our oldest was born, we faced secondary infertility, repeated losses, and an endometriosis diagnosis. Through years of waiting and God’s faithfulness, we welcomed our two younger children. Yet, we’ve always felt our family wasn’t quite complete. After several failed attempts to grow our family biologically, we sensed God closing that door and guiding us toward adoption, a calling that has been on our hearts for many years.
“While IVF wasn’t part of our journey, we’ve become aware of the many families across the country facing difficult decisions about their remaining embryos. With countless embryos frozen in storage, God has stirred in us a deep desire to pursue embryo adoption!”
So what is Embryo Adoption?
Often called “Snowflake babies,” we are adopting the tiniest, most precious lives, at just 2 to 6 days old in development. After couples go through IVF, many end up with more embryos than they can possibly bring into this world. A life honoring choice couples can make, is to lovingly place their remaining embryos up for adoption. Right now, it's estimated that over 1.5 million frozen embryos are waiting in storage across the U.S. We believe every single one of these lives is valuable, created in God’s image, and worthy of love, a family, and a future. This unique and beautiful form of adoption gives us the opportunity to carry and give birth to a child who may not share our DNA, but who will be deeply and unconditionally loved from the very beginning. Through this journey, we hope to honor the sanctity of life and reflect the incredible love of our Heavenly Father!
We are grateful for this opportunity and we invite you to walk alongside us into this next chapter of growing our family. Together, we can get some of these tiny lives out of the freezer and give them a chance to grow, to be loved, and to thrive! 💜❄️💜
