We are growing our family through Adoption!

We are beyond excited and are doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome a beautiful new life into our home. As part of our adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. It may surprise you to hear that adoption related costs can easily total up to $35,000 or more. This is why we have set a goal of $10,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents.
We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our child as he/she grows up.
CURRENT STATUS: Approved by our agency, we are not matched with a birth-mom/baby, but are a 'waiting family' waiting to get The Call! 
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
#1 Donate! By donating to our adoption through this website you can feel comfortable knowing the money goes where intended. Bonus - it's tax deductible! AdoptTogether is an IRS approved 501c3 organization.
We can also accept donations through Venmo (@Maryellen-Hibbard) and PayPal ([email protected]). Please make sure to include ‘Adoption fundraiser’ in the description and what number puzzle piece(s) you would like.
Participate in our FINAL fundraiser!! A Puzzle for the Nurseryâ¤ï¸
HOW IT WORKS:
We have purchased a 204 piece puzzle. Our goal is to fill the back of the puzzle with names of donators. The puzzle will be displayed in the nursery in a two-way frameâ¤ï¸ Piece #1 = $1 donation, piece #85 = $85 donation and so on. Hidden behind random pieces are a total of 20 AMAZON gift cards!!! "Purchase" as many pieces as you’d like to increase your chance at a gift card! We will do our best to update the board with the available piece numbers so check back often to see which pieces have been taken :) We will contact you if you won a gift card and would need your email address to send you your prize!!!
UPDATED CHART!!! SO THANKFUL FOR ALL YOUR DONATIONS, LOVE AND SUPPORT SO FAR! There are still 14/20 Amazon gift cards hidden!
****please include name(s) desired on the pieces and which piece(s) you want****
****anonymous donors will be marked with a â¤ï¸ on the back of the puzzle piece****
#2 Pray! Please pray for our future child and their birth Mother. These are scary and uncertain times for everyone during this country’s pandemic, but even more so for a mother who is faced with a decision to choose adoption for her child. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she makes this life altering decision. We covet your prayers for our family too, as we prepare our home and hearts for this sweet life to join our family.
Thank you all so much for your support,
â¤ï¸,
Zachary, Maryellen, Matthew, Cailyn, & William
