We are pursuing an independent interstate adoption of a baby boy who will arrive this fall. As a part of our adoption process, we are raising funds to assist in the costs that come with adoption. We are raising funds for the costs of two attorneys. Because this is an interstate adoption, we will have to hire representation in both states. We are also preparing for travel and accommodations while we wait for the Interstate Contract for Placement of Children (ICPC) to be completed before we can travel home with him. Accommodations for housing for an unknown amount of time is also a big expense.
We have been married for almost 11 years and have an 8 year-old daughter. We have desired to add to our family through adoption for as long as we have been together, but this spring, the Lord made it abundantly clear that now was the time. Our daughter is excited to be a big sister and we can't wait to meet this little person.
We have claimed Jeremiah 1:5 for our little one, where the Lord speaks and says, "I chose you before I formed you in the womb; I set you apart before you were born." We believe that the Lord has big plans for this little baby, and we are excited to see how we get to be apart of it. We are grateful for the community that surrounds our family as we take steps to grow our family. Thank you for playing a part in his adoption story. Please pray with us during our journey to bring him home!
