Dear Family and Friends, We are excited to announce that we have brought home a beautiful little girl! As we began the journey of adoption, we originally planned to use an agency affiliated with our church who would subsidize a significant portion of the adoption costs. Shortly after completing our home study with this agency, we were notified that they would soon end their direct adoption placement services and were referred to another local agency. We had financially prepared ourselves for the subsidized adoption costs through the agency affiliated with our church; however, the decision to become listed with the new agency was based on the fact that we thought we would have enough time for Heather to go back to work and save the additional funds required before we were matched with a birth mother. We never imagined that after only one and a half months we would already have our little Olivia in our home. Therefore, we would greatly appreciate any help you are willing to provide. Many of our family and friends ask what they can do to help. One way is to donate to our adoption fund through AdoptTogether. No donation is too small as every dollar will go towards the adoption costs associated with bringing Olivia home. Thank you for all of your love and support throughout this process. Having so many people contribute to our being able to bring her home makes it all the sweeter. With love, Matt and Heather
