Phil & Holly Blanton

are adopting a child from United States of America

Hello Friends and Family! We are so excited to announce to you that we are starting our adoption journey through an organization called Lifetime Adoption!

After a few years of infertility issues with us, we began praying over adoption for us. Holly has always had a desire to adopt and this was a clear indication that adoption would be part of our story in some way.

Over the years, we both have taken great comfort in knowing that the Author and Perfecter of our faith has always been, and always will be, in control. God has been so gracious and merciful in His dealings with us and has proven Himself time and time again to be faithful, even in the really trying times. Because of this, we recognize His hand in this process and walk confidently toward becoming parents.

At this time, we have both felt led to choose the path of infant domestic adoption. Although there are many variables, the average length of time to adopt is estimated to be between two and three years, at a cost ranging from $30,000 to $60,000. This is why we have set a goal of $50,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents.

We know that there is no shortage of giving opportunities, but would you prayerfully consider partnering with us in the fundraising process? If you don’t feel led to do that, we would be so grateful if you would pray for us as we continue down this path. Please pray that the Lord would be faithful to provide, and that He would prepare our hearts and minds for parenthood.

Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts, for joining us on this journey!

    UPDATE: 🏠 Beginning our Homestudy

    September 7, 2025

    We are now able to begin our homestudy process. There is so much that goes with it and can feel a bit daunting.

    With saying that, we now have an additional amount on top of the $14,000 due toward our adoption agency. This is a seperate amount due for our homestudy.

    The application fee for our homestudy is $600. With a total of $1900. This total price is including the application and travel expenses for our social worker.

    Please consider partnering with us financially as these expenses are overwhelming and we cannot do it alone. We thank the Lord for how he has brought us this far and provided for us already.

    September 4, 2025

    Hello friends!! Now that we are officially partnered with Lifetime we are starting to prepare for our home study (which is a bit daunting) as well as create our adoption profile. We are so excited to officially begin this journey toward adoption.

    Now that we have made the first deposit of $9500, we have up to 6 months to make the 2nd deposit of $14,500. Therefore, we are setting a goal for the month of September to raise $3000.

    Adoption Update

    August 23, 2025

    We are scheduled to start the program with Lifetime Adoption Center this Friday.

    However, We are still a little short of having the money for the first installment.

    Will you help us reach the amount we need to be able to start the program on Friday?? We are about $1500 shy from having the amount needed.

    This first installment will allow us to schedule our home study and create our adoption profile through Lifetime Adoption Center. This profile is what will be shown to mothers who are looking for an adoptive family.

    We are so grateful for every single donation, prayer, and share. It’s making a real difference in bringing our future child home. 🏡👶🏼

    If you’d like to be part of our story, you can donate through cash, check, Venmo or our adoption funding site.

    Thank you for standing with us in this journey. We truly couldn’t do it without your support.

    Adoption Fund Update 👶🏼💸🙏🏽

    August 2, 2025

    We were a bit shy of hitting our July Goal of $9500. I talked with the Lifeline Adoption Agency about it and they said no worries that we could have some more time to raise the money.

    This is great news!! Once we are able to make the down payment we will be able to officially sign the contract with Lifetime Adoption, make our adoption profile for mothers to view, as well as get set up for our home study.

    If you would like to help us raise the last part of our down payment of 💲1️⃣7️⃣0️⃣0️⃣, please donate to our adoption link.

    Thank you all so much for your prayers and financial support so far!! Phil and I are so appreciative of each and every one of you!! You all help us get closer and closer to bringing the special little one home the Lord has prepared for us!! 🩷🩵
