is adopting a child from United States of America

STOP EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING… Because we have BIG news… We are adopting!

As some of you may know, we have been trying to build our family for a while now and we always knew our child was out there… we just have to find them. From the beginning, we knew that adoption would be part of our journey. After a lot of research and long conversations, we were led to an organization that specializes in placing children of color with adoptive parents of color and provide support for all parties involved from the beginning of the journey through the life of the adoptee. We cannot express in words how excited we are to bring our family together through adoption and with the help of an amazing organization.

We are doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome a beautiful new life 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 $15,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents. Fun Fact of the day: In the US, 33% of people consider adoption; however, 79% of the families are deterred by the high costs, and in the end, 2% adopt.

We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will continue to see yourself as part of our community. As the African Proverb says, "It takes a village to raise a child" and we are dedicated to continuing to build our village and support system for our family. Back when we were thinking about marriage and why we wanted to get married, our conversations always came back to our support systems and sharing special moments in our lives with the people who matter most to us. Now, we are beginning a new special journey that will be one that will last a lifetime.

We do not take this lightly to be asking so many people to contribute and sacrifice. We are grateful to have the means to care for our child’s daily needs, but in reality, there is a substantial amount of money needed to welcome our child home — approximately $30,000-$35,000.

As we ground ourselves in what this process will bring, we are grateful for any support you may be able to give, financial or otherwise.

Con mucho amor,

Breanna and Steven
