Eric & Rachel H.

are adopting a child from United States of America

We have BIG news!

We are adopting a child!

Becoming parents has been a dream woven into our marriage from the very beginning. Over the years, we’ve faced challenges and detours on that path — experiences that have deepened our love, patience, and commitment to each other. Through it all, one thing has remained constant: our shared belief that family is built on love, not biology.

Now, we’re overjoyed to be walking this new road toward adoption. We’re doing everything we can to prepare our home and our hearts to welcome a little one into our lives.

As part of our adoption process, we’ve started a crowdfunding campaign. It may surprise you to hear that adoption-related costs can easily total $50,000 or more — covering agency fees, legal work, home studies, counseling, and travel. To help ease that burden, we’ve set a goal of $60,000.

Your support — whether through a contribution, sharing our story, or simply offering encouragement — means the world to us. By joining us in this process, you become part of the loving community we hope to build around our future child as they grow up surrounded by care, stability, and connection.

From the bottom of our hearts, Eric & Rachel
