We have BIG news!
We are adopting a baby!
We are beyond excited and are doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome a beautiful new life into our home. As part of our adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. It may surprise you to hear that adoption related costs can easily total up to $70,000 or more. This is why we have set a goal of $35,000 to help us ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents. We have saved and we are applying for grants as well.
Our Story
We have had plans of starting a family for many years. After many grueling infertility treatments over the past few years, we finally became pregnant with our son Liam. Liam was born early due to complications after PPROM. Our OBGYN told us that we would stay in the hospital afterwards, until Liam decided to make his appearance. After a long hospital stay for Beth of almost 2 months on strict bed rest, Liam was born on Beth's 30th birthday. He came into the world unexpectedly and through a traumatic, emergency C-Section. He passed away hours after his birth. We felt defeated. Words cannot describe the pain that we found ourselves navigating through at that time. Many members of our family and friends supported us during that time, and we thank all of you who contributed financially, and through prayer. Coming home empty handed without our precious baby was devastating. In our darkest moments, we turned to God like we never had before. Of course, we allowed our hearts to heal over these past 19 months before we decided to explore other options. After much prayer in the months following, we truly believe that God placed it on our hearts to expand our family through adoption. The realization that adoption was right for us was like a breath of fresh air. Ever since, we have been working diligently with an agency to complete the necessary requirements to adopt a child. Over the past year and a half, after lots of prayer, we are so excited to be announcing our plan of adoption. We know that with God's help, and the help of our loved ones, we will finally be able to make our dreams come true. Adoption can be very costly, and while we have continued to save money, we are still asking for help from anyone that may be able to offer it. At this time, we have been accepted by an agency and are currently in the home study process.
Whether or not you are able to donate at this time, we ask that you please join us in prayer throughout this process. The journey will not be easy, but we are continuing to be diligent and hopeful until we bring our baby home.
