Chris & Melyssa Kelly

Hello friends and family! In April of 2023, after several years of trying to conceive naturally, we found out that we are infertile. Yes, this news brought upon a period of disappointment, but that was short lived, because we feel strongly that God is calling us to pursue adoption. He gave us so much peace about our infertility and a purpose we are excited to embark upon with this new adventure! This is a chance to tangibly act out the gospel in our very own home and show the love of God to all that we encounter along this journey.

We are currently working with Graceful Adoptions. They have been absolutely wonderful to work with and we are very much looking forward to continuing with them! Our hope is to be matched with an infant or new born, or possibly even a sibling pair.

Of course, adoption is not only a difficult process, but it is also costly. We’ve estimated that this adoption could cost around $40,000, if not more. That number can be daunting, but we feel confident that the Lord will provide as He continues to guide us down this path. Someone once reminded us that we are all called to minister to orphans and widows, and even though not everyone is called to personally adopt, this can be a chance for others to serve in obedience alongside us!

We truly appreciate all the support we can get, whether that is through prayer, encouragement, or financial blessing.
