We have BIG news!
We are adopting a child!
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 $40,000 or more. This is why we have set a goal of $20,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents.
One of Christy's hobbies is miniatures and she is the middle of completing a fairy house made from items found in nature. She often comes home from hikes with pockets-full of pinecones, stones, bark, and little tidbits picked up on the trail.
Luke is a classical pianist and is working on a musical recording with his fellow musician friends. He also cycles and completed 1,000 miles this past summer as a fundraiser for #BLM and the NAACP.
We have been married for two years and together for eight. What we love most of each other is that we don't have to pretend to be anything other than who we are. We know that we can never be perfect. Parenting will bring challenges that we can only imagine at this point. We are however, as prepared as two people can be and we will always do our best to provide a safe, nurturing, and loving home.
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 will keep you updated as we move along this journey!
With Love,
Luke and Christy
