Jeremiah & Kara Carlson

are adopting a child from United States of America

Too Much Love Not to Share TWO

Hi there! We’re the Carlson crew — Kara (mom), Jeremiah (dad), Emberlin and Lovelin (our joyful sisters), and Valor and Revel (our wild-hearted brothers). We believe love multiplies — especially when it comes to family.

This is our second adoption journey, and we can’t wait to see the story God writes this time.

Our first adoption brought us our beloved son, Revel River, and unexpectedly, his incredible birth mom, Amanda. When we met Amanda (while she was incarcerated), God gave us such a deep love for her that it felt like we were adopting her, too. Since then, we’ve watched God work powerfully in her life — from joining a prison Bible program and worship team to leading many other women to Jesus. Her transformation has been nothing short of miraculous.

About six months into raising Revel, we felt the Lord whisper to our hearts again: You’re not done. And just like that, our hearts expanded — again. We believe there’s another child and another mom out there whom God is preparing for our family.

So here we are, saying YES to love, redemption, and the beautiful mess of adoption.

We know we can’t do this alone. Adoption is costly — emotionally, spiritually, and financially — and we are deeply grateful for every friend, family member, and kind stranger who steps into this story with us.

Thank you for helping us bring one more child (and possibly one more mama!) into a home built on the presence of God’s love. We truly have too much love not to share.

With all our hearts, The Carlsons
