Jake & Valerie M.

We are so excited to grow our family through adoption once again! Becoming parents through adoption has been one of the greatest blessings God has written into our story, and we are incredibly grateful to be walking this journey again in faith and hope.

Adoption is a beautiful calling, but it also comes with significant financial costs, including home study fees, legal expenses, adoption education, counseling services, and medical expenses related to placement. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps ease those burdens and brings us one step closer to welcoming another child into our family.

As part of our adoption journey, we are inviting others to come alongside us through a special puzzle fundraiser with a goal of raising $10,000. Each $10 donation sponsors one puzzle piece, though you are welcome to give more if you feel led to do so. The name of each person or family who sponsors a piece will be written on the back, creating a meaningful reminder of all the love and support surrounding our child before we ever meet them.

As the puzzle comes together piece by piece, it will symbolize the community helping us bring our child home through prayers, encouragement, generosity, and love. Once completed, the puzzle will be framed and hung in our child’s nursery as a lasting reminder that they were deeply loved, prayed over, and supported from the very beginning.

We understand that not everyone is able to donate, and that is completely okay. One of the greatest ways you can support us is by sharing our story with your family and friends and helping us spread the word about our fundraiser.

AdoptTogether (Hoping Hearts Foundation) is an IRS-approved 501(c)(3), making all donations tax-deductible.
