We are very excited to be adopting two children from Burundi.
We started our journey early in 2021 with the intent to fully fund the adoption ourselves. Due to our original agency (International Child Foundation) closing its doors to international adoptions and having to start over with a new agency (Children of All Nations) and having failed matches by the Burundi Central Authority that did not meet our Home Study requirements. We are forced to start our journey basically all over again.
Currently we have spent 29,000 to get us to this point and we are now estimating that to continue forward and adopt two children it will take a total of 90,000. We have funds to do what we originally planned that was about 45,000 so an additional 16,000. But unfortunately we do not have the funds to continue forward beyond that point.
For this reason we are starting a crowdfunding campaign to exhaust all abilities to still make this adoption happen for two children out of Burundi and our family. We have set a goal of 45,000 to help cover all the remaining agency, in country attorney fees and travel expenses, etc.
We hope that by inviting you into this process with us, you will see yourself as part of the community we will need to raise these children as they grow up.
