This likely isn’t a surprise to anyone who knows us, as we have planned on this big thing from the beginning…
We’re adopting!
We had our son then we had our daughter three years later. Laura had complications while pregnant with our daughter. More specifically complete Placenta Previa and Placenta Accreta- where the placenta covered the baby’s exit and attached too deeply/abnormally. This meant that to save Laura’s life, the uterus was completely removed at the time of our daughter’s birth. This solidified that we would no longer be able to have any more biological children. But we have always planned on adopting so we weren’t too discouraged. Now that our children are no longer babies we are ready for the next addition to come into our lives.
We are beyond excited and anxious as we prepare to welcome a special little one into our family. As part of our adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. It may surprise you to hear that adoption-related costs can easily total up to $35,000 or more. This is why we have set a goal of $35,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents.
We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as our ever needed village for our family.
We know this is the next big step for our family and are so grateful to have you be a part of it.
