We have big news… we’re adopting (!!)
For those of you who know us, you may remember our adoption journey with Jones 5 years ago. After loads of prayer and consideration, we’ve decided to grow our family through adoption again!
Jones’ situation was very unique. So while it’s our second time going through this process, it’s our first time working with an adoption agency. We’ve chosen Covenant Care (a Christian adoption agency based in Georgia) and have made it to the end of our home study process with them. Now we are ready to move forward into the next step, which is getting the funds together to continue.
We are currently looking into grants, and are also putting cash toward the adoption. But we are still in a place where financial help would be extraordinarily helpful.
If you’ve never looked into it before, you may be shocked to know how much adoption costs (on average $35,000 or more). Our goal is to raise a portion of that money if possible.
If you’re not in a place where you’re able to give and you’re here just reading our life update, that’s great! We don’t expect a single penny from anyone and really we’d be most grateful for your prayers and for texts checking in on us :) But we also know that some people feel called and equipped to give financially toward adoption. If you are in the place where you have a desire to help, thank you! We are so grateful.
Sending so much love to everyone reading this, and hopefully we’ll be able to report good news of being matched in the near future.
Xo, Emily & Michael
