Mario & David Espinoza-Ramirez

Please join us and help us on our journey to adopt our first child!!
David and I have been together for over 11 years and being a gay couple our journey to parent hood has been difficult but, we will continue to fight. We have started the process to adoption and we have started this fundraiser that is TAX-DEDUCTIBLE! How awesome is that??

(How is it Tax-Deductible? Read the FAQ’s here https://adopttogether.org/faq/)

You have probably heard that adoption can be expensive and it’s true, but like all adoptive families, that must not stop us from pursuing our desire to love and care for a child that is waiting for us to become their forever family!

Adoption related costs can easily total up to $50,00 or more. :( We’ve set a fundraising goal of $35,000 to help cover some of the cost, and we would love for you to consider helping us get there!

All funds will be strictly used for direct adoption related expenses. AdoptTogether.org requires adoptive families to send in receipts in order to release donated funds.

Whether you decide to give, pray (please pray!), or even share our post/story we are so thankful for your support, and you will be part of the community that impacts the life of our child that we haven’t met yet.

TYPICAL COSTS FOR DOMESTIC ADOPTION: It can vary as each child and each situation is different. The primary reason for all of these costs is to protect the adopted child!
