Mark & Kirsten McGaffee

We are so proud to announce that our sweet family is growing by TWO! Mom and Dad are beyond excited, and Hailey and Emma are eagerly anticipating having another brother and sister to play with!

The season of grief that we have lived, make this season of joy highly cherished. Three years ago, our son, Jedidiah, was welcomed into the Lord’s arms in heaven. Though this loss put our dreams of having a large family temporarily on hold, we knew it was not the end of the story. In this restorative journey God has revealed to us that He has more for us and also desires more from us. Discovering the depth of the global orphan crisis has been heartbreaking. The love we have for Hailey, Emma, and Jed, is beyond measure, and God has asked us to share that same love with others. As we have sought Him, he has led us to a brother and sister who are in Liberia. They are nearly the same ages as our two daughters and as a family (Hailey and Emma have been as much a part of this process as we have been!), we have begun the steps of bringing our kids home to us.

With this, we need your help! The financial burden of adoption is heavy, but it is worth it for the joy of having our children with us. Your gift would help us pay the adoption fees and the costs of travelling to Liberia. The total cost of agency and process related fees (not including travel) will be approximately $50,000. We have completed our home study and are now in the process of completing documentation for the United States and Liberian governments.

Any gift is appreciated. We have opted to partner with AdoptTogether (tax deductible donations!) and will soon have other avenues to support our adoption as well (coffee fundraiser, etc.).
