Hello Family,
Big news… ADOPTION COMING SOON!!
Hello everyone, we are Brian and Ana Lenoir, two humans who love to serve and help others. Ana loves mission trips and working with people around the world. And Brian is an animal lover.
After 3 years of dealing with infertility, we are excited to share with you that part of our Journey is finally becoming a reality. We are getting prepared to grow our family and welcome our first baby. We are so honored to be parents through adoption and can't wait to meet our first child. The thing we dream about the most is bringing our baby to church with us and going on trips to the zoo with HIM or HER. Christmas too! Brian can't way to dress up as Santa.
We cannot do this alone and there are multiple milestones we will have to reach to get to the final moment of holding our baby. We expect the total amount for adoption to cost between $74,000. We just meet our first goal to pay home study fees, so grateful with everyone who donated here and privately now we are walking to coming fees, like agency fees, activation fee, video profile and marketing to be match, this will be due in different times from January to April. We are one step closer! Please continue praying for us and don’t forget that we have an amazing bonus here with Adopt together. Every penny is TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
Thanks for dreaming with us and your generosity.
Stay tune in @nakedinfertility.
Love you all and GOD BLESS YOU.
Yesterday we celebrated Ana’s birthday.
So proud of her, some of you were witness of the year she had, two surgeries, so much loss and exhaustion but in the mist of all that she went to two missions trips and served woman around the world, was so amazing to hear her stories and everything she encountered ( if you want to hear more please contact her she is passionate about this).
Even with the pain and physical inability she said to my she wanted to run and start racing, I know most of the people she shared this with thought, well she can barely walk and work and she does not workout, me included, but something is true about my wife. What ever she focus on she accomplished, she is perseverant and strong will so on January 4th she run her first 5k. I saw her training 2 months prior she went for a run during rainy days and at night it that was the only time she could fit she was determined to do it and she finished but not just that, she was 3rd in the 20-30 woman’s category.
Please if you feel like it share your love with her. She ask us all to show her love by donating to our fundraiser, she said “ my wish this year is becoming a Mom and holding my child”.
So please do so if you feel like and wish her a happy and bless birthday.
We love you all and I can’t no be more proud of her and excited to see her become a mom 💓
2025 Here we come.
Thinking that this may be the last Christmas where is just the two of us makes our hearts flutter with joy, Saying goodbye to the 2024 stop us to reflect on this past 364 days, wow this year was for us one of the hardest, Ana had 3 surgeries and that was scary, financially challenging and left us we a double lost, we mourn another year of not having a baby an even farther our biological opportunity, but we did learn to walk on faith as never before, we redefine the meaning on faith and hope.
Today we full understanding we say “the best place to be is in the will of God” and we are so excited for what is to come, even with the hardship that may come alongside.
We are deeply touched by the incredible generosity and love you’ve shown through your contributions to our adoption fundraiser. Your support means the world to us and brings us closer to making our dream of growing our family a reality.
Each and every donation, message, and kind word reminds us how blessed we are to have such an amazing community surrounding us. We are truly grateful for your belief in us and in this beautiful journey we’re on.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of our story. Your kindness will never be forgotten.
With love and gratitude,
Ana & Brian Lenoir
You guys, thank you so much for all the support. As you know, this first campaign was $5,000 to cover our home study. We are almost there. With our savings and your generosity, we are just $300 away from this first milestone. What a blessing, and how exciting—the best Christmas present ever.
In the next couple of weeks, you will see the amount for our fundraising change since the new campaign starts, this will be for our agency fees for activation, this will bring us active and our profile be shown to birth parents (we write this with tears in our eyes) we can't way.
Our social worker will be assigned once we pay this in the next couple of days and we are scheduled to be visited around January 15 th, this paperwork and interview process will take around 60 days and we will have another 2 weeks after that to pay the activation fees to go active, this is planned to happen at the beginning of April 2025 and then start the sweet wait to be matched with our future baby.
The journey is on time we can't believe is happening and you have been vital in this so THANK YOU THANK YOU. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Merry Christmas to you and many many blessings.
Christmas has always my favorite tradition. The love you feel when your family is all gathered under one roof to celebrate with each other. I mean the presents are and added bonus too, but for me it's the smiles and the laughter that I look forward to most. Waking up to the kids jumping and beaming with joy as they climb all over my wife and I so that they can ask to open their presents early. The fresh smell of pine from the Christmas tree in the cool crips morning. The one by one gathering of family arriving to the house to celebrate and eat together. All the cousins of family together playing and running around the house driving all the adults crazy. This is the picture I have in my mind and it's the future I am working for.
If there is one thing that this journey has taught me, it would be perseverance. Perseverance is a gift from God, it is a form of unyielding faith. Faith that cannot be given, it must be taken and cherished. It must be tended to and never forgotten. No one couple's journey is easy, we all go through our obstacles and doubts. However, with perseverance my wife and I can conquer those obstacles and eliminate those doubts from our minds.

Thanks everyone for your love and support.
We are trusting on God for this goal to be achieve in the next couple of days, thanks for being part of it.
Ohh this is the week, the time to stop and give thanks for everything we have and got this year. For us the biggest gift has been YOU, every one of you who have sought to make this happen, we still have a lot of work to do and process to go through but you have reminded us is possible and we are not alone, for that we will be forever grateful.
Have an amazing thanksgiving week and enjoy the people around you, the most important thing is not what we have but who we shared with.
Love you and pray for you🌸🌸
The Lenoir’s
