We have BIG news!
We are quite far along in the process in adopting a child.
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 $50,000 or more. This is why we have set a goal of $45,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents.
We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our child as he/she grows up!
Hello-
I would like to update you on the progress of this potential adoption!
A few weeks ago Colombia asked us for more information as to why we want to adopt, how we will manage having a new child in our home, and practically what resources do we have at our disposal.
This just lets us know we are one step closer to hopefully adopting! Our adoption agency in Italy claims this 'asking for more info' typically only happens once but it allows us to know Colombia is on the search for a match for our family!
Thanks so much for your prayers and support on this journey!
