Julianna & Michael M.

are adopting a child from United States of America

GOD IS SO GOOD and we have some BIG news!

We are so excited to share that in November of 2025 we officially began our journey toward domestic infant adoption!

Adoption had been on our hearts for nearly a decade when we made the decision to finally jump in and say YES to this calling!

With the guidance of The Heart Project, we have stepped into a season of waiting for a match and trusting God’s perfect timing.

We are incredibly grateful for the prayers, encouragement, and support of our family, friends, and faith community. If you feel led to support us through prayer, sharing our story, or contributing toward our adoption fund we would be so thankful to have you walk alongside us.

We are doing everything we can to prepare our hearts and home to welcome this beautiful new life into our family.

As part of the adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. We anticipate our adoption-related expenses to total between $15,000-$35,000, which is why we have set a goal of $10,000 to help ease the financial burden that so often overwhelms adoptive parents. These expenses include, but are not limited to, legal fees, court & filing fees, agency fees, home study fees, travel, medical expenses, training, and birth mother assistance.

Your support, in any amount, makes a real difference as we navigate this adoption journey. We’re so grateful for you!

By inviting you into this journey, we hope you will see yourself as part of the loving community we are building around our child as he or she grows!

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Your prayers, encouragement, and support mean more than we can ever express.

Mike & Julianna❤️

    ❤️Waiting to be matched!❤️

    February 10, 2026

    To our friends, family, and everyone walking this journey with us,
    We wanted to share a quick update on our adoption journey!

    We have officially completed ALL paperwork and training sessions required of us in order to go live! This means we are actively waiting and prayerfully hoping for a match. During this season, we’re preparing our hearts and our home for the child we hope to welcome.

    If you feel led, please continue to pray for us, support us, and share our adoption story with others. We are still actively fundraising, and our adoption costs are thoughtfully broken down into specific categories, making it easy to help meet a particular need if you feel called to support us in that way.

    ❤️Thank you for walking alongside us — every prayer, share, and gift truly helps us take the next step toward growing our family!❤️
