Curt and Gina Kessler

are adopting a child from United States of America

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 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. As newlyweds at our age we don't need a new gravy boat or wine glasses so this is why we have set up this campaign to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents.

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.

With love,

Curt and Gina

    Hi everyone - we hope this email finds you all doing well.

    Adoption is a bumpy road...very bumpy! We know it will be all worth it in the end. We remain in the hurry up and wait phase while being active on multiple out of state private adoption agency lists. We have been receiving calls, which is good. We remain hopeful that our baby is out there!!

    Thank you for all of your love and support.
