We have BIG news!
We are adopting a child! We have chosen to adopt an older child because there are over 400,000 in our nation's foster care system, many who age out at 18 years old. This has been a dream of ours for several years and we are currently in the process of being matched with a child.
We are beyond excited and 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 $7,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents.
We pray 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.
We will send out updates as we get matched and ultimately placed with the newest member of our family.
Blessings,
Nick and Patrice
