Eric & Amanda B.

are adopting a child from United States of America

We have big news! We’re adopting! We tried building our family the natural way and were lucky enough to get pregnant with our twins relatively quickly but that was pretty much were the luck ran out. Our sweet babies left this world before they got to see it and before we were able to see them. In the months following we tried to give them siblings on our own but life had other ideas and we have not been successful. We decided growing our family, and giving our sweet babies siblings through adoption was our best option. With that being said adoption is EXPENSIVE (approximately $50,000) and rightly so. This page was made as a way for us to raise any money possible to put towards our adoption expenses and lessen the financial burden placed on us before we bring our child, or children, home. Any and all money raised will go towards our home study, birth mother care, baby’s care, adoption agency fee, and legal expenses. We would be honored if you were able to help us on our journey whether it be financially or through supporting us. Thank you for taking the time to read our story! Let’s get the Bassy baby, or babies, home!

We also have a t-shirt fundraiser and the website to that is https://www.bonfire.com/store/love-grown/ <3

    May Update!

    May 18, 2022

    Hi guys, I wanted to give everyone here an update on the adoption process.

    Eric and I are in the paperwork stage still. I think I have filled out our address, names, and drivers license numbers more than I ever have in my whole life. The paperwork seems endless but we are actually getting somewhere with it.

    We are now to the part where we are getting ready for our inspections by the fire department, health department, and finally the home study agency themselves. Before we can do any of those though we have to redo our deck so that we will pass those inspections… Fun times!! Once that is finished we will be scheduling all of our inspections.

    After we get home study approved we then can go back to our amazing adoption consultants, Evermore, and make sure our profile is up to snuff. Once both of these things are done we can finally start presenting to mamas! We are hoping to accomplish all of this and be presenting by the end of summer.

    There has been a ton going on behind the scenes in the Basford house so I wanted to let everyone know what was happening. As always, our t-shirts are also available if you would also like one of those. That website is below.
