Josh & Felicia Hartwell
are adopting a child from United States of America
Hello Friends,
We have some pretty huge news - We are going to be adopting and welcoming a new child into our family!
This is something we have talked and prayed about together for a long while, and really feel God’s calling on our lives to pursue adoption. We are beyond excited to move forward together as a family; we have kept our son involved in all the conversations along the way, and he is fully on board with us on this journey.
We have partnered with Mustard Seed Adoption Consultants -
An adoption consulting firm, that works with highly ethical adoption agencies all across the US and works closely with us to help the adoption process go as smoothly as possible.
We are truly blessed with an incredible community of family and friends at school, church, and work. And we are grateful for the prayers, encouragement, and support. As many of you may already be aware, private adoption is costly, typically $35,000 at a minimum but can easily reach $50k or $60k in total. We will be covering these costs from personal savings, and through the loving support of friends, family, & colleagues who choose to bless us through donating to our crowdfund.
- Current Status -
We are now an “Active” family with Mustard Seed, meaning we are ready to potentially be matched with any birth momma’s that come through our Consultant’s partnering agencies.
- If you Choose to Donate -
All donations here are tax-deductible and Adopt Together disperses them to us through the form of grants. So each time we have an adoption related cost, we can submit the appropriate paperwork to them as proof and apply for the funds to be distributed for that particular expense.
No matter the form or shape of support, we appreciate it and God bless!
With Love,
- The Hartwell’s
