Douglas and Pamela J.

We’re Pamela and Doug Johse, a married couple from Texas. From the very start we knew that a family was a big part of our dreams. When we learned that pregnancy would come with serious health risks, we knew adoption was the path for us, and we couldn’t be more excited for this journey!

Both of us were raised in Texas, surrounded by great friends and family. We were fortunate to grow up in loving homes, and those experiences shaped our desire to create that same supportive and nurturing environment for a child of our own.

Our estimated cost of adoption is $50,000 which covers the agency fees, legal fees, travel expenses, legal costs, and the birth mother’s living expenses during her pregnancy.

We’re working hard to fund as much of this this journey ourselves as we can by setting aside savings and selling baked goods, personalized items to help cover expenses. While asking for support isn’t easy, we believe that family and community are at the heart of this journey.

Every contribution, whether through purchases, donations, or simply sharing our story, is an investment in the life of a child who will one day become part of our family.

Thanks for all of the love, encouragement, and support!
