Friends and Family, Thanks for considering to support us in this adoption! Most of you have already met Emarie. She is now 12 years young. She has been in our home since November of 2022. We love her so much and plan to give her a forever home and our last name.
As many of you know adoption is something that has been close to our hearts for a long time! We had very clear callings on our lives to adopt from before we even met Emarie. So to say we're excited about Emaries adoption is a big understatement!
As part of our adoption process, we have started an adoption fund so that you, our family and friends, can support us to adopt Emarie. It may surprise you to hear that the cost of some adoption’s can cost $48,000 or more. Since our adoption is from a failed first adoption we don’t have to pay that huge amount but lawyers, fee’s and adoption specialist don’t work for free. We have already invested funds already. To help us get the rest of the way, we have set a goal of $5,000 for our adoption fund.
While the average adoption costs are high, we have been fortunate that our costs have been very reasonable. We have completed our home study process and we are putting together the final touches before we go to court.
We are so grateful for the large community of family and friends we have around us and we know that we are welcoming our child not just into our own family but into our community.
Thank you for all your support, prayers and love to us in this journey!
