We have GREAT news!
We are adopting!
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 $20,000 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.
We LOVE adoption because we LOVE the Gospel… and we are committed to our family living out the gospel every single day–Adoption is a beautiful and clear picture of this!!
We are adopted too!! [[ Galatians 4:4-7 “God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.”] ]
Jesus was sent to redeem us… Because of His redeeming work on the cross we are adopted… co-heirs!!! God pursued us as His children!
It’s ALL for Him and about Him!
Adoption is costly. [[ God paid the greatest price when sent His Son, Jesus as the atoning sacrifice.] ]
We KNOW God is our Provider and will provide every single thing that we need for this adoption.
Please pray with us!!
–We desire for God to be glorified through this entire process! Help us pray that we would point everyone that we come in contact with straight to Jesus!
–Help us pray for health and safety of our baby, and a healthy pregnancy for our baby’s birth mama.
–Help us pray that God would draw our baby’s birth mama to Himself. Our great desire is that she would come know Jesus through this process!
–Help us pray for patience and sound-mind in the waiting!
Baby Hydas, you are loved SO much already!!!
