It is with incredible joy that we share with you our news… WE'RE ADOPTING! Baby Parker will be joining our family soon. Through many tears and much prayer these past couple of years, we know without a shadow of a doubt that we are being called to adopt. God has been SO faithful working on our hearts and confirming this decision. He knows the longing of our hearts better than we do. Adoption is the story of the gospel and we couldn't be more excited to be a part of His story.
We are asking you to join us to be a part of our adoption story. Most importantly, we need your prayers as we navigate all that's involved in the adoption process.
We are also asking for your support financially. It may surprise you to hear that adoption related costs can easily total up to $55,000 or more. This is why we have set a goal of $35,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents. We're hoping to raise the rest of the money through our own efforts, savings, and grant writing. Your donation is tax deductible (AdoptTogether is a project of Hoping Hearts Foundation Inc, an IRS approved 501c3 organization). The funds we receive from this Crowdfunding Campaign go directly to our adoption agency.
In an effort to reach this goal, we are trusting God to provide the following…
1 person giving a gift of $5,000
2 people giving a gift of $2,500
4 people giving a gift of $1,250
10 people giving a gift of $500
20 people giving a gift of $250
50 people giving a gift of $100
100 people giving a gift of $50
Many others giving various amounts
Thank you so much for all of your love and support as we begin this exciting adventure. God is so good and so faithful. We're thankful that He is the author of life and always writes the best stories, even when they look different than what we imagined. We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as an important part of the community we hope to build around our child as he/she grows up.
We would love for you to join us in prayer for our future child, his/her birth mother, and family. You can follow along on our blog at: https://parkeradoption.weebly.com where we will be posting updates throughout our adoption journey.
Love,
Josh and Ashley
