are adopting a child from United States of America
BIG NEWS!
WE’RE ADOPTING!
We’re incredibly excited to share that we are officially beginning the journey to grow our family through adoption! This decision has come after much prayer, reflection, and faith. It’s not something we’ve taken lightly—but rather a calling we believe God has gently and consistently placed on our hearts. Over time, we’ve felt His nudge guiding us to open our home and our lives to a child in need of love, security, and the grace of a forever family.
The adoption process is both challenging and beautiful. It involves many steps—home studies, background checks, legal documentation, travel, and more—but each one brings us closer to the child God has chosen for our family. While the financial aspect can feel overwhelming, we fully trust that the One who called us to this path will also provide the means to walk it faithfully.
Adoption is a true labor of love—and it comes with significant costs. Domestic infant adoption typically ranges between $50,000 and $65,000, covering agency fees, legal services, travel expenses, and vital support for birth parents. To help bridge this financial gap, we’re humbly reaching out to our community.
We firmly believe that when God calls someone to something, He also surrounds them with a community to walk alongside them. If you feel led to support us—through financial gifts, prayer, or simply by sharing our story—we would be deeply grateful. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to welcoming a child into our home. And every prayer lifts and sustains us as we walk this path in faith.
Please join us in praying for:
💛 The child who will one day join our family
💛 All the funds needed pay for adoption costs.
💛 Their courageous birth parents as they make an incredibly selfless decision
💛 Wisdom, peace, and provision as we move forward on this journey
Your support—whether through prayer, giving, or cheering us on from the sidelines—means the world to us. We know adoption is a journey of trust, love, and deep faith. We are leaning on God every step of the way and are already overwhelmed by the love and encouragement we’ve received.
Thank you for being part of our story. Warmly, Nate and Whitney

Update 1
WE'RE HOME STUDY APPROVED🎉
April 25, 2025We are officially home-study approved!! 🎉
This is a huge milestone in our adoption journey, and we’re so excited to share this moment with you. A home study is an in-depth process that includes background checks, interviews, home visits, paperwork, and training—all designed to ensure that our home is a safe, loving, and prepared environment for a child. Being approved means we’ve completed this important step and are now officially eligible to adopt!
So, what’s next?
✅ Applying to adoption agencies – We’ll begin submitting our profile to trusted adoption agencies across the country. These agencies will present our family to expectant moms who are courageously considering adoption for their baby.
✅ Working with our adoption consultant – Our amazing consultant, Jonnilyn, will help guide us through agency applications, profile presentations, and eventually, matching with an expectant mother.
✅ Fundraising – Adoption is a beautiful process, but it also comes with significant costs. We can start actively fundraising to help cover the financial side of this journey—things like agency fees, legal support, travel, and birth-parent care.We’re filled with anticipation and trust as we step into this next chapter. Baby Jameson could be here sooner than we think, and we are preparing our hearts, our home, and our village for that day!
Thank you for walking with us—your love, encouragement, and prayers mean more than words can say.
