Dear family, friends and all who have come across this website,
Thank you for taking the time to read our adoption story and for considering us a family you would like to support. We were blessed with our sweet daughter through adoption five years ago. Three years ago, we had the joy of moving for A.J.’s job where we began praying about beginning the adoption journey again.
After much prayer and research for about a year, we went on the waiting list with an agency. We have been in the waiting process for about two years. This has led us to transition to an adoption consulting service. We will begin this new agency in January 2024. We are currently updating all the necessary paperwork for our home study.
We are asking that you would prayerfully consider joining and supporting us in this adoption journey with our new agency. Your support would be a gracious gift in aiding us in giving and receiving the gift of parenthood again by God’s sovereign plans. Your support would also help an expecting mother to choose life! We would be very grateful for your prayers and any financial help.
We know the process of adoption takes time and there is so much uncertainty, but we are thankful to know God is working in His perfect timing all things for His glory. We continue to pray for His wisdom in each decision knowing He will give us the wisdom we need (James 1:5). Our hearts are so excited to see how the Lord will bring glory to His name through this journey.
As the saying goes, “It takes a village to raise a child,” it truly requires the prayers, love, grace, kindness, and generosity of others to support an adoption. Though the monetary cost is much, supporting adoption is one way to care for the orphan (James 1:27) and to show the world that God values each human life made in His image (Genesis 1:26-27; Psalm 139:13-16).
Thank you for taking the time to read, pray, and support us. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope” — Romans 15:13
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us.
In Christ, A.J. and Brandy Battisto
