  June 24, 2026

  Update on our twin boys + how you can pray for us! ❤️‍🩹🙏
  Hey friend.
  Thank you so much for your generosity. Each day is one day closer to the moment we hold them.

  If you are getting this email, it is because you have been so generous with our family, we are starting to put a list of people who have been sowing into our faily financially or in prayer, so please if you will like to get our christmas card this year WHICH WE CAN'T WAIT FOR, please email me your address, it will be a pleasure for us to update you througth the years, so you can see the fruit of what you planted today in and for us.
  Sent me an email with your address and name, please, and if we don't know you, I would love to hear how you got here. ❤️‍🩹 [email protected]

  We wanted to share a few quick updates from our hearts, along with some specific things we are lifting up right now.

  The Latest Updates
  1. A Sweet Father’s Day Gift:In a beautiful turn of events, babies birth mom texted Brian this weekend to wish him a happy Father’s Day. It was such an amazing gift of reassurance for both of us as we waited.

  2. New Ultrasound Pictures: We received new ultrasound photos of our boys, and seeing them makes this all feel so real and close!

  3. We have been recieving gift for our boy from our baby registry. This is so humbling, THANK YOU!

  4. We got a sweet friend whose parents live about 40 min from the hospital where our babies are going to be born, and they have offered to host us during our time in Mississippi, THIS IS HUGE! We are so grateful.

  How You Can Pray With Us:
  1. For Financial Provision: To fund this adoption, we have completely used our savings and have taken out two loans. We are believing God for the rest. Thanks to all your generous donations today, we are now just $4,343 short! We are trusting in the generosity of our God and his promises to us. Please pray that if anyone is considering sowing into our family financially, that they are moved to do so within the next day. Because transferring funds takes time, and we need the funds available by this Friday.
  
  2. For Birth Mom’s Comfort: She is experiencing severe back pain right now. Carrying two precious growing boys is taking a toll, and she is having a very hard time moving around. We believe fully in God’s healing power and ask that you pray for her physical comfort and strength.
  Thank you so much for being such an important part of our village. We truly couldn't walk this journey without you.
  With all our love,
  Ana & brian

  🤍 Twins Coming August 2026!

  June 17, 2026

  Dear family, friends, and supporters,
  We are bursting at the seams to share some monumental news with you all. Today, we officially found out that we have been matched with a birth mom in Mississippi who is expecting twin boys this August!
  To say we have ridden an emotional rollercoaster today is an understatement. We are stepping into this next chapter with hearts full of faith, hope, and extreme joy while deeply holding space and lifting up their courageous birth mom in our daily prayers. Even though we know a lot can happen in the next few weeks, we are "all in." We are holding onto the beautiful hope that in just two short months, we will be traveling back home with our two sons in our arms.
  We are so incredibly grateful for the love that has carried us this far. More than ever, we need our village to surround us and hold us close.
  If you are looking for ways to walk alongside us in these final two months, here is how you can help:
  🤍 Wrap Us in Prayer
  We believe in the power of community prayer. Please join us in praying for:
  Peace:For ultimate peace to cover every single piece of this process—for us, for the babies, and for their birth family.
  Finances:As we step into the middle of this beautiful chaos, we have just a couple of days to wire $56,000 to cover the remaining expenses for these two precious lives.
  Calm in the Storm:For calm and focus as we frantically (and happily!) get our home ready for two new little inhabitants.

  💸 Financial Support
  Because we are preparing for two babies at once, the remaining agency fees are significant. If you feel led to give financially, you can do so in a few ways:
  AdoptTogether: You can donate on our AdoptTogether profile. *(Please note: there is a 5% transaction fee).*. https://adopttogether.org/families/the-lenoirs

  Direct to Agency: You can donate directly to our adoption agency. This method is *not* tax-deductible, and we will need a copy/screenshot of your transaction proof so the agency can properly credit our account

  Updates are Back.

  November 3, 2025

  You might be wondering why you haven't heard from us in the last couple of months. Do we have a baby yet? Are we still doing this?.

  Is just been a time to process and heal, I had a 3rd surgery last week, and recovery has been costly, some of you know I (Ana) have severe endometriosis and have been in and out of the ER in the last 16 months, last surgery was a robotic one, and I am so helpful is better and more helpful that the ones before, so all the faith that this will be good for a couple of years or forever, we know God can do everything. I am tired but have seen God's hand on every turn.

  About adoption, in the last 2 months we had 2 of what people call soft match, meaning a potential adoptions, in process to develop a plan and become an official match, both of them dissolve before became to be, last one was last month, about reasons, the first Birth mom apparently decided to parent her baby, this are great news for this baby and we pray blessings over her and her baby boy.
  Last one, a baby that was born on 10/24, she called us the perfect couple, but getting to know us deeper, she decided we were "Too religious, too much Jesus for her." This last one took as a minute to process, but at the end we came to the conclusion, We were Glad she was able to see the truth of who we are, We love Jesus, we confess He is our savior and want to have more of him in our lives, Jesus makes us better, we are here because of him, and know that God adopted us in his family first so, WE ARE OK with that.
  What next, still waiting, for the right fit, for the baby who will come to be the missing piece. We are ready, continue fundraising and working hard to be prepared and ready.

  Please pray for us if you will, as we continue walking in faith and obedience.

  We pray for you all. This is not possible without all of you!!!

  The wait.

  September 3, 2025

  UPDATE!!
  We continue to wait.
  You are probably asking yourself what is happening now?. We have been active for a month now, and we received a new request a week ago from a couple of moms requesting more information on our profile, and we are excited about this.
  This new step is training our patience, it is a complete silence that can last months, weeks, or hrs, we will be lying if we say it has been total peace, hmm, the truth is there is no way we could say some days feel longer than others, but God is holding our hearts.
  We have an amazing promise in Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew[a] you,
  Before you were born, I set you apart;
  I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
  We believe He has for their baby, he knows him/her, and he has set a baby apart before us, for Us. This certainty makes all anxiety go; we don’t want anything else but that to be in alignment with his perfect will.
  And in the meantime, we are still saving. This part of the process is uncertain, financial, and it depends on the birth mom and baby expenses more than anything else, and the budget is high due to the healthcare system. So we keep working hard, fundraising, and praying.
  HOW TO HELP?
  PRAY WITH US
  • for peace in our hearts and minds, including birth mom.
  • health for this baby and the birth mom.
  •finances and favor with grants.
  OTHER WAYS.
