Hey guys! We are Melody and Brandon, and we have been married for over 10 years. After years of struggling with infertility and suffering a failed adoption last year through the foster care system, we have prayerfully entered the process to adopt an infant and are so excited to welcome this child into our loving home. While adoption has always been in our hearts, we never knew it would be the only option for us to build our family.
We are beyond excited and doing everything we possibly can to be prepared to welcome a beautiful new life into our home. As you are most likely aware, the costs associated with infant adoption can be quite overwhelming. It may surprise you to hear that our adoption related costs will total nearly $60,000. While we have personally raised some of the costs associated with our adoption, the total cost can seem overwhelming at times and is a huge hurdle for most families pursuing adoption. As part of our adoption process, we have started a fundraising campaign. We have set a goal of raising $50,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms us. We humbly ask you to spend time in prayer for our family during this process. If you feel led to help us reach our goal and bring our baby home, we would be beyond grateful. Platforms like this allow financial donations to be 100% tax deductible, with all the money going directly to our adoption costs. Just know that no amount is too small, and we truly thank you for your consideration. We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the village we hope to build around our child as he/she grows up.
We could not be more excited or thankful to be on this journey, and we know that God is guiding us at every step. Adoption is such a beautiful picture of the gospel, and we are so honored the Lord is allowing this to be a part of our story. As we prayerfully await to be matched with our precious child, we thank you for your continued prayers, donations, and support along our journey. Please feel free to share our story and profile. We appreciate you so much- you have no idea. Giving towards our adoption has lasting impacts on us and our child, and we truly don’t even have the words to express our gratitude. Thank you for playing such a special part in our story ♥️
With love and sincere gratitude,
Melody & Brandon
Hello to you all! We wanted to let you all know that we have officially been matched with a birth mother in Florida! We are over the moon with excitement and we are preparing for the birth of our child. We can't thank you all enough for the outpouring of love, generous donations, and prayers that are helping us bring our baby BOY home! We just went and had a visit with the birth mother and we were actually able to attend an ultrasound appointment with her. We are so thankful that she has allowed us to be so involved in her journey, and we continue to pray for her health and wellness. She is due September 2nd, but we believe the baby may come 1 to 2 weeks early! Thank you, thank you, thank you, and we will keep you all updated and hope to share pictures soon! Sending all our love!
