Brandon & Elizabeth Ames

are adopting a child from United States of America

We have AMAZING news!

Our home study has been recently approved, and we are actively taking steps towards opening the doors of our happy home to adopt a child.

Reaching this exciting point of our journey has not come without heartbreak and loss, as we have been trying to start a family for nearly two years. Two miscarriages and a series of negative pregnancy tests in-between left us with wondering if we will ever be parents, and questioning our overall purpose in life.

In these challenging moments, we leaned on our faith, and we felt it was the voice of God that led us to look into adoption. While our journey is still ongoing, we realized this is our calling and a way to open our hearts and our joyful home.

Adopting is not merely a decision for us; it's a journey that is filled with purpose and love.

The average adoption ranges from $40,000-50,000, which is why we set a goal of $25,000 to get us half-way there.

We are doing everything that we possibly can to prepare for this exciting chapter of our lives, and any support that can be offered will help us immensely.
