Hello!
I have exciting news! After being a foster parent for two years, I am ready to build my family in a more permanent way. I am hoping to adopt a baby! My experience as a foster parent has helped me see that I am ready to commit to caring for a child throughout their life, and I am eager to be a "forever mama" - to know that as much as life allows, I can count on spending the next holiday or birthday with my child. To see growth and progress and setbacks and joy blossom from one day to the next. To continue guiding my child and learning from them for years to come.
I am very excited and am doing everything I can to be prepared to welcome a new family member into my home. As part of the adoption process, I have started a crowdfunding campaign. Adoption related costs can easily total up to $50,000 or more. These costs include legal fees, support for the biological family, counseling, and home study expenses. This is why I am fundraising - to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents.
I hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community I hope to build around my child as they grow up.
Thank you for supporting me as I embark on this journey!
xoxo
Susannah
