John and Emilie Andrews

are adopting a child from United States of America

Hi friends and family,

We’re so excited to share that Amelia’s birth mother has asked us to adopt her soon-to-be-born baby girl — Amelia’s half-sister — due this December. Of course without hesitation, we said yes! We feel incredibly honored and grateful for this opportunity to grow our family and keep these sisters together.

Adoption is beautiful, but also expensive and this time unexpected. The total cost will be around $40,000, covering legal work, home study updates, travel, and other adoption-related expenses.

We’re doing all we can to prepare financially, but we can’t do this alone. If you would like to help, here’s how:

  • Donate here
  • Share our story with others
  • Keep us in your prayers as we navigate this journey

Thank you for being part of our community! Your love and support mean the world to us — and we can’t wait to welcome this sweet baby home.
