Jonathan & Anna Lassiter

are adopting a child from United States of America

Hi Friends & Family! We are excited to share that we are planning to adopt an infant! We’ve been excited about the possibility of adopting since we were married four years ago but assumed we’d start our family biologically and consider adoption later on.

Back in March of 2020, Anna’s health took a difficult turn, and her auto-immune condition flared, causing us to have to reconsider how we might start our family. With the medicines and our goal of seeing Anna well, we realized we needed to think about another option.

Anna and I have partnered with several agencies in order to give us the best shot at being placed with a child, but we are now in the waiting stage.

While we wait, we are working to try and offset some of the significant costs that adoption includes. We’ve set up a goal of raising $15,000 to help us start our family. We’d be grateful if you’d consider donating anything at all to help offset the significant costs of adoption, including birth-mother care & counseling, travel to the birth state, agency fees, lawyer fees and finalization costs. All in, this could be anywhere from $30-$60k.

From this point on, it could be 2 months or 2 years until we match with a birth mom, and we are excited to share the story with you as it unfolds. Thank you for your encouragement and love as we navigate this complicated process.

All our love, The Lassiters
