Roy & Sandra G.
are adopting a child from United States of America
Dear Friends and Family,
JUNE 2024:
Baby Lincoln was born May 21st at 4:00 am healthy, with a head full of hair! Our family of four is now waiting out the ICPC process (the governments time to approve us to leave the state) in Florida where baby was born. Until we receive official approval from GA to return home, we must remain within state lines. We still have not reached our goal to afford this adoption so we are updating this site in hopes to share our story and spread the word. We hope to be able to bring baby Lincoln home within the next two weeks (hopefully sooner!).
We appreciate you all for joining us on this wild journey. Hope you enjoy the photo updates till Lincoln can meet you in person! Xo
APRIL 2024:
We have been keeping a secret. We have once again, by the sweet grace of God and his faithfulness, matched with a birth mom! This kind, loving and inspiring mom has chosen our family. Not only, did I have the privilege of meeting her but i got to see baby through ultrasound. Our little boy is due in just a few weeks!
Having gone through our highs and lows throughout our adoption journey, it is hard not to worry about the “what ifs” but we truly believe this is the one. The one God prepared us for back in November. We are excited to continue to share in this whole experience with you, thank you for supporting us!!
MARCH 2024:
PRAYING FOR A MATCH TO GROW OUR FAMILY. As we continue to work with adoption agencies our hearts remain vulnerable. Our profile is open to any and all birth mothers to review and consider our family. All raised funds are held by AdoptTogether, until we hit our goal, are officially matched and then funds are sent directly to the agency. We appreciate all of you so much for your continued support!!
JAN 2024:
Our adoption came crashing down when birth mama decided to change her plans for adoption and rightfully decided to raise her baby. Although our world felt to come crashing down, we of course fully support birth mom and her decision. We wish nothing but a beautiful & love filled future for birth mom and baby.
In the meantime, we begin our journey again in the waiting. Praying and keeping our hearts wide open.
Thank you for your support, next time around, we are more prepared then ever, thanks to you all!!
NOV 2023: We are thrilled to share with you the wonderful news that we have been chosen by a birth mom to adopt her baby! We are overjoyed and grateful for this opportunity to grow our family and give a child a loving home.
Our baby is due in December, and we are busily preparing for his arrival (that’s right, our sweet Roman gets a BROTHER!). We are excited and nervous as we embark on this new chapter in our lives, but we know that with your support, we can do this. We trust in Gods timing and plan for our lives.
We understand that adoption can be costly, and we would like to humbly request your assistance in helping us with the expenses associated with bringing our baby home. Your donation, no matter the size, would be greatly appreciated and will go directly towards the adoption costs (legal fees, agency fees, and travel expenses).
We are considering hosting a fundraiser event, a raffle and seeking out participation from local restaurants & businesses to donate proceeds.
We are so grateful for each and every one of you in our lives, and we thank you in advance for your generosity. We cannot wait to introduce our baby to you all in the coming months.
With love and gratitude,
Roy, Sandra & Roman (soon to be big brother!)

Update 4
So much momentum KEEP SHARING & REPOSTING
November 10, 2023We are BLOW AWAY!! This is amazing!!
The word is getting around & we have received so many heartfelt messages and calls. I’m overwhelmed with the love!!
The great thing is the pressure and worry of HOW WILL WE AFFORD THIS? Is lifting because of all of you and your generosity!!!
So much so I’m finally mentally processing that we are GETTING A NEW BABY!!
I guess it’s Time to start preparing the nursery, washing clothes, bottles and swings. It’s HAPPENING!! -
Update 3
SO LOVED!
November 9, 2023I know God provides but boy is he showing up!!! Roy, myself, and Roman cannot even believe it, we are up over $4000!!!!
We are so much closer to meeting our goal, it’s seriously unreal how incredible of a community we have surrounding us!When learning so suddenly, that a birth mom chose our family, the initial reaction is just pure joy and excitement! Following that very quickly was the reality of. How are we going to afford this. We were not prepared for a private adoption again, it wasn’t even on our radar.
We have been planning to work through the foster care system this time around. That is something that always sat heavy on our hearts. (And I still feel that in the future our family will be involved with children in foster care. This adoption does not change that.)
So, although the adoption is unexpected in the most beautiful and wonderful way, one donation at a time, and day by day we are closer to meeting him! And we cannot wait.

Update 2
Our journey here
November 8, 2023So I wanted to share a little bit more information about how that’s even happen.
So we moved to Georgia, and quickly started to get ourselves license to adopt, knowing it is the only option we have for growing our family, and we have been so beyond blessed by adoption in the past. ((ROMAN!!)) We’ve wanted to give Roman a sibling, and I pray sharing a similar start to “their own story” will help them in the future.
Our plan for growing our family this time was to work with the state of Georgia, and adopt from the foster care system. If you know anything about the state, it is slow at getting things done, so it has been a long journey, but we are finally right at the end of that. So that has been our primary focus for the last 10 months.
Receiving a call from the same agency we worked with when we were blessed with Roman, was not anticipated. However, it was, once again, life-changing.
Families can wait years for a birth mom to choose their family, and being chosen, is the greatest honor ever.
I can’t even imagine how much selflessness and love has to come from a moms heart in making that decision.
And for it to be us? I am still unable to process that. I’m just so grateful to God and his timing and the way that his plans unfold, I know they’re always greater than my own.
So here we are, trusting.Thank you for being part of it!!
