We have BIG news!
We are adopting a child!
We are beyond excited and are doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome a beautiful new baby into our home. As part of our adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. It may surprise you to hear that adoption related costs can easily total up to $35,000 or more. This is why we have set a goal of $20,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents. Please note that we are also applying for adoption grants.
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. To remain transparent regarding our adoption costs, here are the estimated fees and expenses associated with our domestic infant adoption through American Adoptions:
Since we first met, we have known that we wanted to build a family together. Due to health complications, we knew it might be impossible for us to conceive a child naturally. Because of this, we have always held the possibility of adoption close to our hearts.
After completing our initial home study in 2019, we learned that Jamie was pregnant with our miracle baby after several miscarriages. The pregnancy was very difficult, and after 37 weeks Jamie gave birth to our beautiful son. Due to Jamie’s health challenges and the complexity of her pregnancy, doctors strongly urged that she not conceive again, leading to her hysterectomy in 2023.
While the surgery brought some sadness we already had adoption written on our hearts. So we knew what our next step would be. We are thrilled to continue this journey of growing our family through adoption.
Your support is priceless to us. Any contribution, no matter how great or small, brings us one step closer to bringing our child home. Even if you are unable to contribute, your support by sharing our fundraiser with others is so helpful and greatly appreciated.
Again, THANK YOU for your support, encouragement, and love as we continue our adoption journey. As we move through each phase of this process, we will update this page so you can continue along the journey with us.
Thank you and God Bless!
Love,
Jamie & James
