We adopted a beautiful baby girl! We wanted to try to have a child of our own, but after years of failed attempts, we knew our path was adoption!
We were beyond blessed to be matched with a 19-year-old who had no means of raising a child. She had dropped out of high school, had no job and no transportation so she made a very brave and mature choice and put her unborn child up for adoption. We were thankfully matched with her and after 6 months of texting back and forth, our baby girl was born 6 weeks early.
After hearing the birthmother had gone into labor we rushed 10 hours down the road and got to the hospital. Since she was born so early there were some medical concerns so she had to spend 11 days in the NICU. This is what led us to a bit of a financial strain. We had to stay in the state with the baby for 3 weeks. This required us to live out of a hotel so we could be close to the baby girl and the NICU.
You might be shocked to hear that we are close to $50,000 into this adoption. We are looking for a little help to get us to the finish line here as we pay the attorneys to make this final!
We are trying to raise $10,000 to help cover the medical costs and other costs we have incurred to give this baby girl a beautiful life she otherwise would not have had!
