We are hoping to add to our family through adoption! We've been happily married for 6 years and have been trying to expand our family ever since. It is our dream to have kids. We haven't been successful yet, so we are blessed to pursue adding to our family through adoption.
We both love working with kids. Sean has been a high school teacher and football coach for more than 15 years. I've had jobs working with kids since I started babysitting at the age of 12. I've worked with kids ranging from age 2 to 18 throughout my life.
I'll be honest, when I first started researching adoption and all that it entails, I was very discouraged and disheartened. My initial reaction was that there was no way we'd be able to afford adoption, but I couldn’t get it out of my head or my heart. I knew deep in my heart that this was God's plan for us. We know it’s our calling to be parents, to love, teach, encourage, support and raise our own kids, just as we've done for other kids through our professions in life. We believe there's a child meant for us and us for them.
So, through lots of prayers and tears, we decided to take a leap of faith into adoption and leave it in God's hands. However, we still need some financial help to ease a bit of the burden. Average adoption costs are $40,000 - $60,000. So if you would like to help us on our journey to bring a child into our family, anything you can give would be greatly appreciated. All money will go towards adoption costs (such as fees for agency, home study, birth mother expenses, attorney, and other costs that may arise)
We also welcome any prayers for us along with the future expectant mother and baby. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us in our journey.
