We are ADOPTING….. AGAIN!
How we got here… Even while dating and in the early days of our marriage, we were having conversations about adoption. Adoption has never been a question of "if," but always "when?" However, what we didn't see coming was our struggle with infertility and how God was going to use it to speed up our adoption timeline. We were extremely blessed to bring home our adopted son, Elias, in 2021 and now God is opening opportunity to bring home another sweet baby boy VERY soon!
Why we want to adopt… We are so compelled by the love God has shown us–adopting us as his sons and daughters, making us heirs and co-heirs with Christ (Gal. 4) that we are seeking to grow our family through adoption again. We identify with adoption in a very personal way and we are excited that God is opening another opportunity for us to adopt.
How you can help…
1.) Would you please pray for us? Pray for wisdom and peace as we are navigating this adoption process. Most importantly, would you pray for the expectant mother and family of this child? There is a lot of complexities and heartache involved in adoption. We want to consistently pray for our child’s family of origin.
2.) The cost of an ethical, domestic adoption through an agency is expensive. If you feel led to give a financial gift to help us bring our child home, please know that your gift will be used only for adoption expenses and is tax-deductible through this website.
We are also bringing back our T-shirt fundraiser through Bonfire. If you love comfortable shirts and want to support our adoption, use these links:

This is a daunting amount of money to raise in a very short period of time, but we believe that nothing is too great for the Lord, as he owns the cattle on a thousand hills, who determines the number of the stars and gives to all of them their names. He's provided for us before and we know He will provide for us again!
To God be the glory! Thank you for all your prayer and support!
Love, Matt, Abby, Titus & Elias
