About Us

We are so happy that you have taken the time to visit our blog in hopes of finding a loving home for your little baby. We realize that this is a very difficult decision that will forever affect your life as well as the life of many others. We admire your strength and courage in taking the steps to providing a promising future to the sweet spirit you are bringing to earth. We hope that by reading our blog, you will be able to get to know us, and you will feel comforted in knowing that your decision will be providing this little angel a life full of happiness, encouragement, strength, faith, and most of all…LOVE!

We have been happily married since June 2007. Ever since that day, we have been eager to start a family of our own. Just before our 1 year anniversary, we found out that we were going to have a baby! We were SO excited and felt like we were definitely ready to be parents. Unfortunately, the excitement didn’t last long. I miscarried 9 weeks into the pregnancy. It was a very difficult time, but we had faith and hope that we would soon be blessed with another opportunity to start the family we had always dreamed of. Unfortunately, nearly 7 yrs later, we are still hoping for a child of our own. It has been very challenging for us emotionally but we know that we couldn’t have endured this long without the strength and love of our Savior Jesus Christ. We have felt his love and have received so many blessings. These years have given us the time to realize who we really are. We have been able to strengthen our marriage, strengthen our testimonies of Jesus Christ, and have been able to truly prepare ourselves the best we can to be great parents. We have realized that we may never physically be able to bear children of our own, and that is ok! We are so excited for the blessings of adoption and so look forward to the chance to become a mom and dad. We also look forward to meeting you and for developing a lasting friendship. If you would like to contact us, please leave a comment on any of our posts, find us on facebook- Kent and Amy's Adoption Page, or email us at a.frost4@gmail.com. Thank you again for considering us, and we hope to hear from you soon!

Grand Canyon/ Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day, Kent booked a trip for us to take a train to the Grand Canyon. It was such a nice trip and we were able to spend it with Kent's parents too. We left Gilbert Friday night and got a hotel in Williams near Flagstaff. Saturday morning we boarded a train that took us on a 2 hr long ride to the Grand Canyon. We stayed there for about 4 hours and then boarded the train again to head back to Williams. From there we headed home. It was a really fun and relaxing trip!

We had to arrive at the train station about an hour before the train was scheduled to leave so we could get our tickets. So part of the whole experience included an old western show. It was pretty entertaining. The picture below shows one of the old men getting shot because him and his buddies were stealing horses.

This was us getting ready to board the train.

We happened to be in the very last car, which was really nice because they had a little deck that you could go out on. The weather was beautiful and it was so nice just standing out there and looking at the scenery rather than being stuck in the train. Unfortunately the sun was in a bad spot so we couldn't get a super clear picture.

During the train ride they had a couple entertainers. This guy came around playing his violin and the lady sitting behind us just jumped up and started dancing along to the music. I am pretty sure she had a couple drinks in her, but it was pretty funny. She had a good time!

This was the first lookout at the Grand Canyon. We had both been here before but I was too young to really have a good understanding of how incredible it really is. It was Amazing!

This is us with Kent's parents.

We decided to take a bus a couple miles up the road so we could see different views of the Grand Canyon as we walked the trail back to the train. The bus was packed!!! For a minute I felt like we were back in Peru on one of their buses. Don't move a muscle or you will knock someone over!

We got off the bus and walked about 2 1/2 miles down this trail that went right along the side of the canyon. There were views like this the whole way. It truly was spectacular. We could have just sat there for hours staring at it. It was Beautiful and I can't wait to go back and be able to spend more time there.

About Kent

I am Joshua Kent Frost, born in Tucson, AZ. My parents have always called me by my middle name, Kent, so that is the name I go by. I am the second oldest of six children. My family moved to Gilbert when I was two years old. Growing up, I enjoyed playing legos, building tree houses, and playing in a city soccer league. In High School I played volleyball for the Gilbert Tigers. After High School I got a job framing houses to save up money for my mission for our church. A year later I was called to serve in the Peru, Trujillo mission. After I returned home, I worked for Element Homes as the Assistant Superintendent while attending Mesa Community College starting a degree in Construction Management.
