We have BIG news!
We are adopting a BABY!
After 12 years of praying and 5 years of trying to foster-to-adopt, we are beyond excited that God has led us to adopt through Lifetime!! We 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 $35k-65,000. 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 are so excited to officially be UP and LIVE on Lifetime’s Website!
What does that mean?
It means that Birthmoms who are referred to our site or agency can read our Letter to them and our adoption story!!
Here’s a link to our website~~
Please continue to Pray for The Birthmoms and baby/babies that God is preparing to divinely connect with us! Specifically ~pray that God will continue to miraculously provide the funding needed at the right time!
Lastly, PLEASE SHARE our story! We believe in the Power of Prayer AND Word of Mouth! Share on social media, at your churches, etc…
Our website~ especially share this with anyone who may be experiencing an unexpected pregnancy and wants to discover her choices! Lifetime can Help her!

We are soooo EXCITED to announce that We are Home Study Approved!! YAY!!!!
What does that mean?
~~It's the First BIG step to going "LIVE" online for Birthmoms to see us as a potential home for their baby! It's basically all the legal paperwork and background checks, etc... to assure our home is a safe place to raise another child!
What are our Next Steps?
~~We have to submit our next payment of $11,000 to Lifetime (our adoption agency) so they can put us "LIVE" on their website and begin sharing our profile with any and all birthmoms who match up with us!
Where are we on that Monetary Goal?
~~We have about $1000 of it in hand... We are believing God will provide the rest as we continue along this journey! Feel free to share our link with anyone and everyone that you think would have a heart for saving a life from abortion, providing a way for adoption, and/or anyone who is a prayer warrior!!
Prayer Changes Things!
Thank you, again, for being a part of this journey with us!
