Matthew and Leah Emerick

are adopting a child from United States of America

We have BIG news!

We are ADOPTING a child!

We are doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome a beautiful life and good blessing into our home.

Part of adopting ethically and responsibly is hiring professionals to help us (and the birth family) navigate these complicated waters. Many are surprised to hear that the current average cost for a domestic adoption is $45,000, but can be as high at $80,000.

We are applying to multiple agencies and the average cost for a completed adoption through them is around $60,000.

Thankfully we have already raised over $30,000 through savings and outside donations. So we are asking our community to help us bridge the gap between what we have and what we anticipate needing to ensure proper care for the birth mother, cover legal fees, and our travel to bring home our child.

We hope that by inviting you into this process you will see yourself as a part of the community we hope to build around this child as he/she grows up. God bless you!
