Taylor and I have talked about adoption since before we got married. When we discussed starting a family last summer, adoption was our first choice. We are so grateful to be able to serve our community of Phoenix in this way and especially to be doing it alongside our incredible village of friends and family. We are currently through our home study and waiting to be matched with a birth mom in Arizona.
We are overjoyed and are doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome a child into our home.
As we’ve talked with our friends and family over the last several months, so many people have been supportive of us and wanting to help. Therefore, as a part of our adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. Adoption-related costs can be upwards of $50,000. This is why we have set a goal of $40,000 to help ease the financial burden to better prepare for bringing a baby home.
We are so very appreciative of all the support whether that’s financial, words of encouragement, or prayers for us, the birth mother, and our child.
The contributions each of you have made in our lives have been more impactful than you know. By inviting you into this process we hope you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our child as they grow up.
