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.
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🌸🌸

It is an honor for us to be part of this community and celebrate family and love during this month, on a personal side I (Ana) want to share with you something the lord has been working on me this past week, I hear the quote from J.D Jakes “Goliath wasn’t sent to kill David, was send to reveal him”.
Wow, that has started a different level of healing because I have to admit that infertility has become this giant in my life, personality sometimes it feels like we cannot escape from it, but if you look closer these past two years have developed us and reveal so much of our character, our purposes and hearts. I have personally changed so much and discovered my purpose in God, but at the beginning I learned about myself like never before, to be honest with you most of the things I found about myself were terrible, was a part of me that needed healing and attention but I was proud of that fake strength and because of this goliath I had the time and heart to look at it with different eyes and improve, heal and take some time to dig deeper, not to say that I am perfect now but for sure a better version of me had developed because of it.
It was not easy I wish infertility weren’t the way to learn but, we have for sure decided that this giant wasn’t killing us instead we will use it for our advantage, God was with us in every moment of the hardship and we know he will continue to be there for us.
Happy adoption awareness month. Thank you for supporting us through this journey.
We love you.
Hello everyone and Happy Halloween
I can't thank you all enough for making these last couple of days full on joy and hope, we can't get our heads around the fact that in the very first week we are 10% funded we definitely can't do this without you all.
Thanks for all your love for our family and prayers.
We wanted to to share our most recent video in @nakedinfertility just talking about the things we are looking forward to do with our kids.
