Johnson Family

Welcome to the Johnson adoption family fundraising page! Many of you may not know that we got married during the COVID-19 pandemic in a tiny backyard wedding. Shortly after our marriage, we began considering the possibility of adopting a child. God has touched our hearts and set in motion the process for an international adoption. He has opened the door, and we are eager to walk through it. However, we know we can’t do this alone. We invite you to join us in bringing our daughter home from Mexico through your prayers and support.

The international adoption process can be lengthy and costly; it typically takes about two years to complete, with expenses between $40,000 - $50,000. We understand that this is a significant amount. Here is how the adoption agency estimates costs:

• Nightlight Adoption Agency Fees (application, coordination, instruction, etc.) $26,100

• U.S. Based Fees (home study, dossier, supporting documentation, post-adoption reports, etc.) $10,445-$15,140

• Other In-Country Adoption Costs (airfare for multiple travels into the country, child’s visa and medical, child’s airfare, in-country accommodations, etc.) $4,050-$11,500

• Grand Total Range: $40,595 - $52,740

The plan is to cover the costs through several methods - fundraising, applying for grants, reaching out to our church, and using our retirement account if necessary.

Children in orphanages in Mexico have had their parental rights terminated and currently have no mother or father. We feel a deep sense of responsibility knowing there is a little girl in an orphanage in Mexico who needs love and a safe, nurturing home. We are determined to make this happen!

We humbly request your prayers for a smooth and swift process and ask you to prayerfully consider making a generous gift to support this important mission.

Adopt Together is a 501(c)(3) organization that facilitates fundraising efforts for families like ours. All donations are tax-deductible. Adopt Together will reimburse us for fees and related costs to the adoption process.

On behalf of our future family, we thank you! God bless!
