Hi everyone! As you know, WE'RE ADOPTING!

While this has been part of our family plan for some time, this was the year that we felt the Lord calling us to take the leap. Since our announcement, we've been so wonderfully overwhelmed by the encouragement we've received thus far, including gracious offers to help offset the financial obligations associated with the process. So, we've created this crowdfunding page as a way for folks to donate toward our journey. (Bonus: We decided on this platform because it is an IRS-recognized 501c3, so all donations are fully tax-deductible!)

To give a little context to the costs, we've spent almost $7,000 to date–just in home study and document preparation costs. Because we decided early on that we wanted to be open to a variety of scenarios, including ages newborn to 5 years old, and instances of siblings, much of this journey is still unknown, but we do know that it will be costly. Our consulting agency has quoted us an estimated $50,000 to complete our adoption. We've been saving for some time, but we're hoping that fundraising will help get us there faster so that we can begin presenting our family to potential cases and hopefully bring our child(ren) home within the next year.

We know that God has already chosen the child(ren) meant for our family. We continue praying for guidance and clarity at every turn, as well as for all members of the biological family as they navigate this process as well. Thank you so much for helping us grow our family in the way that we've dreamed for years. We appreciate your support more than you know!
