Jose & Desiree Gomez

We’re thrilled to share that our journey to becoming parents is leading us to adoption!

What brought us to this point?

From 2019-2023 we went through fertility diagnosis and treatment, including IVF and IUI, but despite our efforts, those treatments did not work. Our hearts were grieved by this loss, but we knew that our desire to be parents was still strong.

We’ve seen adoption bless the lives of others around us, especially close friends who have adopted children. Their experiences have shown us that family is not just about biology; it’s about the love, care, and security you provide to a child. We long to offer that to a child of our own, and adoption feels like the right path.

Through much prayer and counseling with friends who have been through this process, we started our adoption journey in April, and now with our home study complete we are launching a crowdfunding campaign to help make it possible. The expenses involved in adoption can add up to over $60,000, and we’ve set a goal of raising $30,000 to help ease this financial weight that many face.

We are currently in the matching phase, meaning we are waiting for a birth mother and/or father to choose us. For all you prayer warriors, we are praying for siblings - but we could match with a single child before then.

We would love for you to join us on this journey, knowing that every bit of support helps us bring a child into a community of love and care. Thank you for being part of the family and community we’re building around our future child!
