Friends & Family,
We are excited to share our adoption journey with each one of you!
Our journey began long before we had even met. Brent grew up around adoption in his family. His mom and her four siblings were adopted, and Brent has always looked up to his grandparents for choosing adoption for their family. He has seen first hand how adoption can change a life. Emily has always had a heart for adoption since she was in high school. We knew adoption was how we wanted to start our family.
Through family friends, we found out about this amazing agency based out of Georgia. We gave them a call, shared our story, and felt that working with them would be the next step in our adoption journey. We are doing a domestic infant adoption.
We are writing to ask you two things.
-First, will you consider praying for our family and our new little one as we move forward in our journey?
-Second, would you consider donating to help ease the burden of this financial cost? It may surprise you to hear that adoption related costs can easily total up to $35,000 or more. Below is a financial breakdown for the expenses we have paid for, and what expenses are ahead.
We are extremely grateful for all the love and support. We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our little one as they grow up.
Love,
Brent & Emily
