Carrie & Garett B.

are adopting 2 children from Brazil

Hold onto your hats, folks; the Buells are adopting! We’re thrilled to share that we’re adopting two sisters from Brazil and preparing our home for their arrival!

We are overjoyed that you are here.

It has been over 20 years since we first met in South America. On this coming New Year's Eve of 2024, we plan to not only be very close to doubling our family in size through the gift of Adoption but also celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.

What an adventure it has been! We started our marriage touring with our separate bands, Caedmon's Call and Alathea. Two decades later, we run an Architectural Photography Company called Studiobuell, LLC, in the world's music capital. We could never have envisioned this journey, yet here we are, fully aware that it is ours, and the moment is now. We always hoped to grow a family, but we battled infertility for those 2 decades of our marriage. While we were always open to adoption, we never thought it would become our only option.

Now, with hearts brimming with excitement, we are ready to step beyond our comfort zones, trusting in the unfolding process and nurturing our faith in God. With each new dawn, we joyfully set fear aside and say "yes" to our Brazilian adventure.

From the moment we discovered the sisters' profiles, we felt a deep connection—deep in our hearts—that these beautiful souls were destined to be our daughters. The decision was clear for us both. And now, we’ve embarked on a crowdfunding journey to support our adoption process and cultivate a nurturing community for our future children. We aim to raise at least half of what we need to cover the necessary expenses in Brazil, including a vital 30-day stay and essential therapy and healthcare costs upon our return. Any support you can offer would mean the world to us.

We kindly invite you to share our tax-free donation link, helping us bring our dream to life and create a loving home for our family. Your involvement means the world to us, and rest assured, these girls will be enveloped in unconditional love. We eagerly look forward to sharing more updates with you. Thank you for being an integral part of our village as we welcome these sisters into our hearts, providing them with a loving family and an authentic place to call home.
