We are adopting a child!

We are starting an adventure to grow our family through a private domestic infant adoption. Our road to parenthood hasn’t been easy as we have been struggling with infertility, and after many prayers and discussions, we have decided to adopt. Dennis and I feel that this is God’s call for us, and we hope you will join us on our journey to grow our family!

We are beyond excited and are doing everything possible to prepare our home and our hearts for this bundle of joy. The process of domestic adoption is very complex; with that, the adoption-related costs can range between $50,000-$85,000. These costs include things like: a home study, to ensure the homes children are placed in are a safe and loving environment, and marketing our family to potential birth mothers to ensure each child gets placed in a home that is a “perfect fit” for them. In addition to these initial costs, we will also be providing funds to ensure that the expectant mother’s needs are met throughout her pregnancy such as housing, counseling, and medical bills. The agency we have chosen will also use our funds to continue providing counseling and resources to our child’s birth mother long after the adoption which will be critical to her long-term well-being.

Adoption agencies require that you have the financial means necessary to support these goals before you begin marketing yourselves to potential birth mothers. The agency we have chosen has estimated our costs to be $75,000, so we have set a goal of raising $60,000 to help ease the financial burden. We would love for you to consider partnering with us financially to support this journey towards growing our family!

If you have any questions or want to learn more about the adoption process and why the cost is so high, we are happy to talk.

We have put our faith in God and know that He will match us with an expectant mother in his own time. While we wait, we want to show this child how loved he/she is.

Thank you for being a part of our journey! It truly takes a village.

Love,

Lisa and Dennis
