Our family is growing! If you haven't heard yet, we are adopting!
There have been many changes in our family these past five years– ups and downs and in betweens– and we are so excited for the newest part of our journey as a family! Adoption has long been on our hearts as a plan for our family and has been something we've been planning and saving for for a while now. This past year, we have worked hard to complete all requirements and our home study, so now we wait to be matched with a little one!
We have been blessed with the most amazing community of friends, family, church, and neighbors who have already demonstrated incredible love for us these past couple years in so many ways. Many of you have been generously offering to help financially, so we finally decided to create a crowdfunding page where you can donate and the money goes straight to our agency!
We know this child will be loved and cherished by so many. We not only hope to be a source of love for our child but also to the birth family who will play such a crucial role in our family. We would so appreciate your support financially if you are able, but regardless, we hope to have your support of prayer and encouragement as we take this next step together. We are more than happy to chat with you if you have any questions or would like to learn more about this exciting step for our family. Thank you for being a part of our lives and know we would not be here without you.
Hi Family and Friends!
We wanted to update you on the exciting news that we have been matched with a birth family in Michigan and are traveling to be there at the birth, leaving on Christmas night (if all goes to plan)! Baby is on the way and we feel so grateful for this unexpected Christmas gift :). Nothing is set in stone until we have Baby and the paperwork clears, but we are hopeful! We'd appreciate your thoughts and prayers for our family and the birth family and for safety for the Baby, no matter what happens. We are planning to be out there a couple weeks, until we are able to bring Baby home.
We'll keep you updated.
Now off to arrange some last minute holiday travel... :)
Thank you again for all your support!
Love, the Cunninghams
Hi Friends and Family (and Anonymous Supporters)! We just wanted to post a little update to say Happy New Year and thank you again for all the support, love, and generosity you have shown our little fam. We are coming up on a year in February of waiting for a match and haven't heard anything yet. Our adoption coordinator has been checking in with us periodically and letting us know things are going well on their end and they have just had far less children up for adoption than usual. Although it is challenging us to practice patience, we also feel happy to know that the need is less currently than it has been in previous years. We're continuing life as usual and pressing on with hope that our future child is making his or her way to us. We ask for continued prayers for that child and for his or her birth parents, wherever they may be, and in whatever difficult decisions they are facing. Again, we cannot thank you enough for your impact on our family's lives. We're hoping to multiply it through the abundance of love we will pour into this little one!
