Tammy & Rob’s Adoption Story

May 14, 2026

“Our dream was always to become parents. After many years of infertility struggles, we chose to pursue adoption. When we first began the process, we believed our path was leading us toward adopting an infant, and we thoughtfully prepared our hearts and plans around that vision. However, God had a different and far greater plan for our family. Rather than infant adoption, we were guided toward fostering to adopt two- and three-year-old boys—an unexpected direction that became the most incredible blessing. From the support and encouragement of the staff to the guidance they provided through each phase of fostering to finalization, The Children’s Home of Pittsburgh walked alongside us with compassion and professionalism. Looking back, we can clearly see that this was the path meant for our family, and welcoming our sons in this way has been a greater blessing than we ever could have imagined.”
