Megan Hampel & Marcus Kain

Since getting married 3 years ago, we dreamed of growing our family in the way we imagined — through pregnancy and birth. We prayed, hoped, and tried, holding tightly to that vision. We dreamed of being sleep deprived, fighting over who had diaper duty, and the cutest little sneezes and belly laughs only a baby can provide. After facing the heartbreak of infertility and the pain and grief of a miscarriage in 2024, we came to a moment of deep surrender and realized that sometimes God’s plans unfold differently than our own, but always with purpose.

Through prayer and reflection, we’re ready to open our hearts and home through adoption. In letting go of what we thought our family would look like, we’ve opened our hearts to a family not built by biology, but by love, grace, faith and patience. We have hope that we can provide a safe, and caring environment for a child to grow and know unconditional love by teaching, nurturing, guiding, and helping them become their own kind and loving self. We know that parenting is both a privilege and a responsibility, and we are ready to embrace it fully.

We believe it truly takes a village to raise a child. We also know adoption is not a journey to be walked alone and we need our village to help bring a child into our family. We’re so grateful for our family, friends, and community who are walking next to us, helping make this dream possible. Each prayer, message, and contribution brings us one step closer to bringing our child home.

This journey has taught us that sometimes the most beautiful stories begin when we let go. When we surrender our plans and trust God’s timing and purpose. Our hearts are open. Our faith is strong. Our arms are ready to welcome the child we’ve been waiting for.

Thank you for being part of our story, our village, and our prayer for family. Your love and support mean more than words can express.

With immense gratitude, Megan and Marcus
