We are excited to share that we are beginning our journey toward adopting a child!
We are so excited to meet our new child, and begin our family, but we know this will be an extensive process. With that process, will come expenses. In fact, between engaging an adoption facilitator, having a home study done, and paying the legal fees to finalize the adoption, we are expecting the whole thing to cost between 28 and 31 thousand dollars!
That's a lot of money, but we are certain it will be worth it. To help ease our financial burden, we have set up this profile with Adopt Together to give you the opportunity to contribute to our adoption in a way that will be tax deductible for you.
A very generous donor has offered to match any of your donations, up to half of our costs!
THANK YOU for participating in this journey with us! We truly value the family and friends we have in our lives, and are so happy to have you as a part of this process, and, once we start our family, to help us shower our child-to-be with love.
It took a long time, during which, Michele and I had to remind each other to have patience repeatedly, but we officially have home study approval to adopt a child! We are so excited to start sharing our lives with a new family member!
Now begins the process of preparing our home with all of the things we will need to raise a child, and the process of waiting (more!) until a mother chooses us to raise their child. That thought is exciting, and stressful, and I am sure we wills soon find that it is evocative of any number of other emotions.
