Hi friends!
We are so excited to share that we are growing our family through adoption! We are doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome a beautiful kiddo into our home. Adoption has always been in our hearts and we look forward to this adventure.
While it's hard to ask, we would appreciate any support you're willing to give to assist with the high financial costs associated with the adoption process. We expect to spend up to $75k through the adoption process, having already paid out-of-pocket/savings/investments ~$28k: $19k to an agency, $3k for legal fees and approval to adopt, and $5k to a consultant. We're not looking to "recoup" any of the money already spent, and anything "above and beyond" will be invested for the kiddo.
We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our child as they grow up. Your donations through this page will be tax-deductible and will go directly to our attorney.
We cannot say thank you enough for any support you are able to give, and we ask for your thoughts and prayers as we walk through this process.
Emma & Josh
Family and friends,
Like most things worth waiting for, we're learning that the adoption process is not linear. We were notified yesterday that our expectant mother is leaning toward parenting her baby, thus disrupting our adoption. We trust her to make the right choice for her child, be it parenting or adoption, and are processing our loss. We ask that you keep us and the expectant mother in your thoughts and prayers.
Our agency is confident they will find us a connection and we are trusting the process, waiting for the next mother(s) who wish(es) to talk with us.
Josh & Emma
