Michael & Jessica Hardy

We are preparing our hearts and home to welcome a little boy, and we would be so grateful to have our village walk alongside us in bringing him home.

Michael and I have been married for 11 years, and adoption has been on our hearts for a long time. We never knew exactly when the time would come, but after eight years of infertility and countless treatments, we felt a clear calling to pursue adoption.

In September 2024, we began the process, and by February 2025 we were home study approved. In May 2025, we were matched with an expectant mama who was due in November. During the week of her due date, she made the loving decision to parent.

More recently, in February 2026, we were matched with another expectant mother who is due in September 2026. In March 2026, we learned that the baby is a boy!

The journey to grow our family has been filled with both hope and heartache, but we are so grateful for the path that has led us here.

Adoption comes with significant expenses, including legal, agency, and attorney fees, as well as support for the expectant mother. We will also be traveling to another state and expect to stay there for several weeks, which adds to the overall cost. Every dollar raised will go directly toward adoption expenses to help bring our child home and begin this new chapter as a family.

Words cannot express how much it means to us to have a village coming together to support us. The love and encouragement of our community is a powerful part of our family’s story. We are deeply thankful for every donation, every prayer, and every kind word.

More than anything, we ask for your prayers for everyone involved. Adoption often begins with a hard and loving decision, and we hope this story will grow into one filled with hope, peace, and tremendous joy for everyone involved. If you feel led, please consider sharing our story so it can reach the people who might be part of bringing our little boy home.

With heartfelt love and gratitude, Michael and Jessica
