We are so excited to share that we are ADOPTING!
In 2017, we began our journey with Jesus in trusting Him to build and grow our family!
When the physicians delivered the news that medically I would not be able to carry a baby in my womb naturally, we were crushed. We were filled and overwhelmed with disappointment, fears, and shattered dreams. In moments of darkness and sadness we chose to "hold onto Jesus". He rescued, saved us and gave us a hope and peace that would sustain us throughout the journey and seasons that we were about to embark on.
As we continue to walk in full surrender and obedience to Jesus, we have found our greatest fulfillment in His Will. The years to follow have been filled with challenges, tears, healing, a deeper understanding and revelation of who God is in our lives and our family, restoration of faith, hope and love! We have fully embraced that the life we live is not our own, but for the Glory of God and the fulfillment of His purposes and plan in our lives.
We have discovered our greatest JOY in the Journey which is remaining with Jesus!
In obedience, we've joyfully accepted every opportunity that God has placed in our lives to be a blessing to children in need through foster care parenting, hanai parenting and being volunteers at a non-profit organization that focuses on providing homes for single mothers and their children.
April 2021, we both felt God leading us to pursue adoption. We both felt a confirmation in our hearts and decided that this was the time and season for us to move forward.
From the beginning of time, adoption was written in Heaven for the Orupabo Family — God was just waiting (on us) to bring Heaven’s Will to earth — He has been preparing our hearts and now we are so excited to announce that, We Are Adopting!
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 $50,000 or more. This is why we have set a goal of $40,000 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!
