Dear Friends and Family, We have known since before we were married that having biological children is not an option for us. With our strong desire to raise a family and our knowledge that there are many children in need of a home, we decided that adoption is the best course for us. Partnering with Bethany Christian Services, we began the approval process long ago, and we are finally very happy to announce that we have completed our paperwork and home study and have been approved to adopt. The next step is simply waiting to be paired with a birth mother, something that could take several years, mere days, or any length of time between. We are asking that you prayerfully consider supporting us financially in this process. Adoption involves a number of application, processing, and legal fees up front before even considering the regular costs of raising a child. Any amount you are able to contribute will be greatly appreciated Thank you for considering partnering with us financially and for keeping us in your prayers. We look forward to sharing our parenting story with you as it continues to be written. Love, Gretchen and Bryan
