We have BIG news!

I am adopting a beautiful little boy!

My heart is overflowing with joy and gratitude as we prepare to finalize our adoption journey. Becoming a mother to this sweet little boy has been one of the greatest blessings of my life, and I am doing everything I can to make sure we officially become a forever family.

Between legal fees, court costs, paperwork, agency requirements, and unexpected setbacks, the financial burden can become overwhelming for adoptive parents.

Because of this, I have set a fundraising goal of $28,000 to help ease the costs associated with finalizing our adoption.

My son came into my life when he was only 33 days old. From the moment I held him, I knew he was meant to be part of my family. Bringing him home was one of the happiest moments of my life.

Today, my baby boy is now 4 years old and preparing to start school soon. It is amazing how quickly time has flown. Watching him grow, laugh, learn, and become the incredible little person he is today has filled my life with more love than I could have ever imagined.

Our journey has not been easy. We have faced many hurdles and unexpected challenges along the way, but through every obstacle, we have continued to push forward together. Just when we thought we were near the finish line, we encountered one final setback that has created additional out-of-pocket expenses and delayed the finalization of our adoption.

But we will overcome this hurdle too.

Through every challenge, one thing has remained constant — the love we share as a family.

This journey has reminded me that family is not only built through biology, but also through unconditional love, commitment, sacrifice, and showing up every single day.

I 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 grows up. Every prayer, every share, every word of encouragement, and every contribution means more to us than words can express.

Thank you for supporting us, believing in our journey, and helping us take the final steps toward making our forever family official.
