Christina & Frank D.

We are beyond thrilled to announce we will be adopting our first child!

This has been a long journey for us, including a disrupted match, but our wait is over and our prayers have been answered! We have been matched and our son will arrive on 7/14/2023!

We unfortunately found out we could not naturally conceive over 4 years ago, due to Frank’s childhood Leukemia, and decided adoption was the right choice for us. As many of you may or may not know, adoption can be very expensive. Initial fees from agency, annual fees to keep records/clearances current, and fees once matched can total anywhere from $35,000-$75,000. Further more, in a case of failed adoption, you may not be able to retrieve any funds.

Our son will be born via a scheduled c-section at 36 weeks due to various risk factors with his birth mother. We are anticipating a NICU stay indefinitely until he is medically stable to come home. We are anticipating more bills to come and have already been drawing from our home equity line of credit to get here. We are asking for your support to help us bring our son home!

Thank you in advance! God Bless!
