Surprise, we are adopting again!! Last summer we felt a little nudge from the Holy Spirit to pursue another adoption. Since then we have spent many months in prayer and careful consideration on whether or not an adoption was on the horizon. We spent time praying together, individually, and seeking counsel from friends and family. We feel led to adopt again. Our family isn't quite complete.
As part of this adoption process we are starting a crowdfunding campaign. Did you know that the average cost of adopting a child in the United States is between $30,000 - $60,000? This price can cover legal fees, home studies, travel and lodging, court fees, and medical and living expenses for the birth parent. This is why we have set the goal of $30,000 to ease the financial burden that can be overwhelming.
Please pray for the potential birth moms who are considering placement, their families and their situations, that God would be present with them through all of their decisions. Please pray for our family as we start over on paperwork, the home study, clearances, and becoming a waiting family, again. We thank you for your friendship, and covet your prayers most especially as we begin again pursuing adoption. with love, Colin, Lauren, Owen, and Orion
