We are writing to share our heartfelt adoption journey and the obstacles we have encountered along the way.
We have longed to build a family together and after facing infertility issues as well as medical issues, we earnestly turned to the option of adoption. We are emotionally and physically prepared to provide a nurturing and loving environment for a child, and we firmly believe that family is not defined by biological ties but by love and support.
Our recent experience with a failed adoption has been emotionally and financially taxing. We had a loss of $36,000 including our traveling expenses.
We aren’t giving up! We are continuing our journey and we can’t wait to be parents! We are now currently working with A Guardian Angel Adoptions, LLC in Utah. We are so excited to be working with them, but also nervous about the upcoming expenses after such a big financial and obvious emotional loss.
There are many different kinds of expenses that go into adopting from the advertising fees, post-partum expenses, agency fees, case management, living expenses, medical expenses, travel and much more.
All of these expenses can easily add up to $52,000- $70,000. This is why we set a goal of $30,000 to help ease the financial burden of us to continue our dream of becoming parents!
We hope that inviting you into this process, you can see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our child as he or she grows up.
Much love, Ebrahim and Kathryn
