Josh and I have always felt strongly about the sanctity of life and before we were even married talked a lot about adopting one day. We thought we'd have a few biological children and then adopt but the costs of adoption were scary so it we just kept pushing it back to 'some day'. Little did we know, after more than 6 years of secondary infertility and miscarriage, God was bringing us back to our original plan. We are so excited about this new chapter and trusting that He will provide!
We have completed our Home Study so we're now waiting to be matched with an expectant mother. This could happen any day or take a while. Only God knows the timeline for our family! 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 over all. With the hope that we will be awarded some grants, we are considering adoption fundraising to be complete for now!
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.
