We have BIG news!
We are adopting!
We have struggled with infertility for several years and God has lead us to grow our family through adoption! We are so excited to start this journey! As part of our adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. It may surprise you to hear that the average cost of domestic adoption is $38,000-48,000. We would love to be able to adopt debt-free and that's why we need your help! We appreciate all donations and prayers as we prepare to bring home our baby!
We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our child as he/she grows up.
Love,
Stephen and Olivia Akins
