We are so excited to share that a birth mother has chosen us to be the adoptive parents of her baby girl due this June!!! So many of you have been praying for us these past seven years and we have been able to see the fruits of those prayers in the series of miraculous events that have led to us being connected to this birth mom and her daughter. Due to the costs associated with the home study, attorney fees for adoptive parents and birth mother, as well as multiple miscellaneous expenses, the total cost for adoptions is often over $40,000. Because of that we are hoping to raise $25,000 to help defray the cost and allow others to participate in the process of the adoption and of building a community around this little girl. Thank you for your support in helping us to become parents, and we especially and most importantly ask for prayers for the birth mother and father, the baby, and that everything goes according to God's will.
Thank you so much for your generosity! We completed the home study with Siena Adoption Services a couple weeks ago, what a whirlwind! The birth mother also invited us to go to her doctors appointment where we got to see the ultrasound of the baby girl! There was a great shot of the baby's foot! Just yesterday, I had a great phone call with the birth father getting to know him and his wishes for his daughter.
We have been blessed to have several get togethers with the birth mother over the last month. The most recent, we got to hear the baby's heartbeat at a doctors appointment. Soon, we will go back and get to see an ultrasound!!!
