Our Story

We are Eddie and Linda Hernandez and have been married for 10 years. We love Jesus and we attend First Christian Church of Wauchula. Eddie and I have just begun our journey into adoption. We have been pregnant four times but due to a condition called an incompetent cervix we lost all of our children at five months into the pregnancy. Our hearts were broken when this happened. We thought we would be like everyone else and be able to start a family with none of these complications but our thoughts were not what God had planned for us. Loosing five children was one of the hardest things weve ever had to go through. After so many years of marraige our dream was to start a family. I can remember an instance during the loss of one of the babies the intense emotional and spirituall conection of a family. I can remember my husband and I holding our baby in our arms (after a 12 hour labor and delivery process) and feeling what it was like to be a family. The amount of love that was in that hospital room was indescribable. We never though we could love someone so much, and then that moment was gone. This left our hearts aching. God through his amazing love for us healed our hearts and gave us the strength needed to overcome and accept what had happened and slowly started showing us his plan. Through lots of prayer and talking with God we decided that God was calling us to adopt. We thought of his word and where it is said that "we are to take care of the orphans and the widows" and this scripture spoke loudly to us and here we are on this journey of adoption....
