My name is Rachael and I am a school teacher and coach. My career is what has lead me to adoption today. I have had many opportunities to act as a motherly figure to those children I come in contact with on a day to day basis. Whether it be providing a meal, transportation, or advice to then I have seen what a wonderful feeling and sense of purpose it can bring. I am an aunt to an awesome 5 kiddos and they are so loved! They have also shown me what a blessing it would be to become a mother.
Great news-on October 19, I got a call that I had been matched!! Baby is due mid-November and so I will be traveling soon!
I am excited to share this news as well as this journey! Unfortunately, there are expected and unexpected costs associated with this decision. To name a few: agency costs, court costs, travel costs, medical costs, etc.
As a single parent, I want to be able to provide for my son and it would be helpful if some of those initial expenses for adopting were covered.
Any amount is appreciated!
