Ricardo & Meghan T.

are adopting a child from United States of America

Guess what! We are adopting a baby!

We are excited, nervous and doing everything we can to welcome a little one into our home.

As part of our adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. Adoption related costs can easily total up to $35,000 or more. This is why we have set a goal of $10,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents.

What makes our story unique is we saved money over several years for a down payment on house. Towards the end of 2017 we purchased a home and gave birth to a baby girl at 26 weeks. She was stillborn. Our lives completely changed. After much healing, both physically and emotionally, we still have the deep desire to be parents. This is where we ask for your help.

We believe in full transparency so you know how much adoption costs:

  • Application and Intake Meeting - $1,320
  • Home Study and Family Preparation - $4,975
  • Waiting Family (Pool Entry, Program and Marketing) - $10,090
  • Adoption Planning - $10,265
  • Pregnancy related expenses for birth mother - $1,400
  • Legal fees - $1,500
  • Placement - $5,715

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 they grow up.
