Tricia and Ryan Christmas

are adopting a child from United States of America

BIG NEWS!!!

Ryan and I are beyond excited to announce that we are adopting a baby!

When deciding to start a family, we discovered that we were among the 1 in 8 couples who face infertility. After a lot of soul-searching, Bible study, research, and prayer, Ryan and I decided to take the leap of faith to start the adoption process on January 1st, 2023. We will be married 15 years in June and we are simultaneously ecstatic and terrified about the chance to see each other in a new role: parents.

It’s probably safe to say that most families do not have the funds to pay for an adoption outright. The average cost for just the adoption agency fees is $45,000. Adoption-related costs can easily total up to $60,000 or more, so we are asking for your help toward these costs. These are the estimates our adoption consultant provided us:

Consultant Fee: $4,200 Home Study: $2,000 Profile Book: $800 Agency Application Fees: $3,000 Match/Placement Fees: $45,000 Travel, Room & Board: $3,000 Post Placement Supervision: $2,000 Legal Finalization: $2,500 Total: $62,500

Those numbers seem impossible to us. We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see God’s faithfulness and provision with us. Would you consider being a part of the answer to our prayers? Your donations through this page will be tax-deductible and go directly towards the adoption fees listed above.

Thank you for your support and for being a part of our family’s story. We can’t wait to celebrate the arrival of Baby Christmas with you!
