Hello friends and family! Our adoption process began about a year ago after 11 failed pregnancies. The 1st mama who picked us backed out a few months before she gave birth. We were elated when another 1st mama picked us! What I haven&'t written is how incredibly expensive adoption can be. We had the initial adoption fees covered with savings and help from Ryan&'s amazing mother. What we didn&'t plan on is a situation where our once super cheap adoption multiplied almost 4 times. And although Eleanor is home with us, we haven&'t even begun to touch the ever increasing bill. So we are asking for help from friends and family who feel led to give toward our burden. No amount is too small, and everything is greatly appreciated! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We have already been so blessed by many of you, and we can&'t wait to see what God is going to do!! We look forward to celebrating when Eleanor&'s adoption is finalized later in the year! Love, Ryan, Athena and Eleanor
