We have exciting news! We’re adopting!

Over 11 years ago, we began this journey of faith with God, though then it was just in the most basic seed form. Earlier this year we took a bigger step of faith and began the adoption process. After seven months of paperwork, home studies, background checks, and deployment of significant resources, we have the most exciting news. We are matched!

In preparation of our family growing, our most important ask is prayer. Your prayer over this adoption process carries God’s power and anointing. Your prayer is also an intimate part of a testimony that glorifies God.

As you pray and partner with us, we ask that you seek God in consideration of financially supporting the gift of adoption. The average adoption cost in the United States ranges from $25,000 to $70,000. There are a few reasons for this: 1. Advocacy; there is money needed to educate and encourage expectant mothers, 2. Support; these expectant mothers are given care and help through pregnancy, and 3. Legal and protective costs; it is very important that the process upholds the highest ethics.

We are a very blessed family in all respects. We have a great partner in Confluence Financial Partners that has financially prepared us for this journey in our life. Your prayerful consideration in giving toward this adoption process will directly impact multiple lives. This about changing lives. Giving hope.

It is our hope that through your generosity and God’s favor, not only will we be equipped for our adoption, but we will be able to give financial resources to another family that pursues adoption. Together, our goal is to be generous in every occasion to support children.

We’re so appreciative of your support, whether it be through prayer or finances. Thank you for walking this journey alongside us. You will never fully understand our deepest appreciation for prayers, kind words, and encouragement.

Last thing, there is a worship song that our family has been declaring over this situation and our family – ‘Adoption Song’ by Brandon Lake. We hope you take a few minutes to listen and feel encouraged by God’s great love for your life.

We’ll keep you updated on our journey!
