Gretchen & Justin H.

are adopting a child from United States of America

We have big news! We are adopting a baby!

We are beyond excited and are doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome a beautiful new life into our home.

As part of our adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. It may surprise you to hear that adoption-related costs can easily average around $50,000 or more. This is why we have set a goal of $15,000 to help ease the financial burden.

We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as a part of the community we hope to build around our child as he/she grows up.

Please keep us in your prayers as we walk through this journey.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Wishing you all peace, health, and happiness in the new year, from our family to yours.

    We wish to thank you again for your support of our adoption journey. Over the last several months, we have been working closely with our agencies, reviewing cases, presenting our profile, and waiting for a match. We can't wait to meet the child God has chosen for us!

    As we look forward to the new year ahead, we have been working on updating our home study, to ensure that all our clearances and approvals remain up to date as we enter a new year. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we await a match!
