We are pursuing the adoption of a baby!
We are very excited and anxious for this process, but as many of you know, adoption can be incredibly expensive. Agency fees, legal fees, birth mother expenses, home study, and more add up quickly and easily total up $35k or more. This is why we have set a goal of $27k to help ease the financial burden that can overwhelm us.
We have already put forth a lot of our own money toward our fertility journey, and have gained better health, but have not conceived and believe God has always had adoption in the cards for us.
We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see your part in the community we hope to build around our baby as he/she grows up.
Hi!
I cannot believe we've already cleared $1,000 in just about 36 hours of sharing this link. We are just feeling so loved and supported by all of you. We hope to have this momentum continue so we can be one step closer to bringing the baby destined to be ours, home.
Love,
Kristen
We always knew adoption was in the cards for us, and had pursued foster-adoption in 2019/2020. As many know, our three siblings went to live with family at the beginning of the pandemic. We then chose to seek support with a NaPro practitioner to find out our health challenges.
After much heartache, we quit seeing our doctors. We were at the point where we were teaching them more than we were learning, and had determined we had "enough" optimized cycles to stop putting medication in my (Kristen) system.
After a little while of interviewing several adoption agencies, we mutually chose each other and are excited to move forward with the process. Unfortunately we have to have the entire agency fee available upon starting in October, hence the fundraiser! :)
We love you all and are excited to take you on this next stage of our parenthood journey.
