Gwen Meyers

is adopting a child from United States of America

Team Meyers is growing by FOUR FEET! We will be adding boy/girl twins to our family through domestic infant adoption this spring. It's been a crazy, sometimes heartbreaking, winding road that has led us to this point and we are absolutely thrilled to have been chosen by a brave birth mama in FL and are counting the days until "baby brother and baby sister" become part of our family!

You already have kids… so why adopt now?

I read a quote the other day that said, "No one can do everything. But everyone can do something." It's easy to get overwhelmed by the brokenness in the world around us. Poverty, sickness, addiction, mental illness…. all these things and more contribute to the challenges facing some of the smallest and most vulnerable members of our global society. But God has invited each of us to take part in bringing healing and hope to our world, to give each child the chance they deserve to discover who they are and what it's like to love and be loved by a family that fights to see them thrive. We've done many things over the years to partner with God in His mission to bring healing and hope- given our time, our prayers, our finances - and we've got no plans to stop doing those things. But we feel God has invited us to partner with Him in a new way… to become family to two little ones who have been born, not of our blood, but of our hearts!

How can we help?
This adoption journey has shown us just how deep and wide our "village" truly is. We could not have come this far without your support and friendship! "Thank you" simply doesn't cut it! As we head into these final months before the babies are born, we would love to invite you to partner with us in a few different ways:

  • Prayer! If you are a spiritual person, please agree with us for the health and heart of our birth mama and the babies she carries. While we cannot fully know what she is experiencing, we care about her and want her to feel supported and loved now and after the babies are born.
  • Funds! It will cost about $40,000 for the legal/agency side of the adoption, plus the travel expenses for us to stay in Florida while the courts process the necessary documents for us to bring the babies back home with us. You can give a tax-deductible donation through this site. ALL donated funds will be used for legal/agency related expenses.
  • Travel! We will need to stay in the Tampa Bay area for about two weeks when the babies are born, so if you have friends/family in that area that could help out with lodging, we'd love to hear about it!.
