Josh and Kristin Lewis

are adopting a child from United States of America

We are so excited to be adopting a child!

We are thrilled and we are doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome this new tiny life into our family.

As part of the adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. It may surprise you to hear that adoption-related costs can easily total up to $60,000 or more. This is why we set a goal of $20,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive families.

We hope you know that when you give, your money goes directly toward the betterment of this sweet life.

Some adoption related costs include: -Living expenses for the birth mother (rent, food, clothing/toiletries, transportation) -Birth Mother's Medical Expenses: -Hospital -Obstetrician -Anesthesiologist -Baby Medial Expenses -Pediatrician Adoptive Service Fees -Adoption consultant -Adoption services (agency fees) -Finalization -Travel and stay for picking up the baby -Advertising fees for adoption agency Birth mother's counseling and post- birth services

Please also join us in praying for our birth mother and father. This sacrifice is not small and we want our child's birth parents to feel loved and cared for throughout this process.

With love, The Lewis'

    We are Home!!

    March 12, 2023
    We are so happy to be home! Praise the Lord! We actually arrived home on Wednesday evening, but we’ve been processing and getting settled since! There’s a lot to share, so I’ll start from the beginning. Judah was born on Friday, consent from his sweet birth mom was signed on Saturday, and then paperwork was overnighted for ICPC (Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children) and approved on Tuesday afternoon! We were told this paperwork could take up to 2 weeks to process, but in all, it took less than 22 hours. We were so excited and booked a flight for... Read more

    Baby Judah is Here!!!

    March 5, 2023
    Baby Judah is here, and he’s perfect!! He was born on Friday, March 3rd at 1:04pm weight 6lbs 6oz and he’s 18.5 inches long 💙 Judah’s birth mom, M, is amazing. The birth was incredible to witness and truly life changing! Judah passed all of his newborn screenings and his 24 hour labs, so we are back at the Airbnb with him now soaking in all the cuddles! Thank you for all of the love and support! We will update once we are back home in WA. In the meantime, please pray for: 1. Judah’s birth mom. She is an incredible... Read more

    We're in Utah!

    March 2, 2023
    It's been an exciting and adventure filled week! Last Wednesday, our birth mom M, was having some crazy contractions. She thought she may possibly go into labor. This same day, Salt Lake City got hit with a crazy snow storm creating an interesting scenario. Luckily, her little boy wasn't ready to come just yet. However, we asked our consultant and case manager if we should come out early since the weather has been unpredictable and she was having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions, and we were told yes!! So, we have been in Utah since last Friday. We have... Read more

    Matching Update!!

    February 16, 2023
    Hello!! We wanted to give a life update since it's been awhile! We haven't announced anything as of late because our past disrupted adoption was just so emotionally hard. We are still feeling so vulnerable sharing again, but we feel it's time. A few weeks ago, Josh and I matched again with a birth mom and a baby boy due March 3rd! This momma is in Utah with the agency in their care. She is receiving counseling, meets regularly with her case manager, attends her doctor appointments, and everything is looking great! Josh and I have everything booked for... Read more

    A Small Update

    December 22, 2022
    Hello! It's been awhile since we last wrote, so we figured we would ask for prayer as we continue on in this adventure. As you know, the adoption we matched with back in October failed to finalize. The hardest part for Josh and I has been the lack of closure in this case. However, we know that if it was meant to be, it would have been. We also would be ignorant to try to assume that we can understand what the birth mom was, and still is going through. Please continue to pray for her heart and for her... Read more
