Friends & Family, we think it's time Bennett becomes a big brother!
We are so thrilled and hopeful to start the adoption process again, and to welcome another little baby into our home.
When we were waiting to be matched with Bennett and his birth family, we started a crowdfunding campaign here through AdoptTogether to bridge the financial gap in adoption. The generous donations of our friends and family made all the difference in the world, and funded about 50% of the adoption costs. When Bennett suddenly arrived in the world in Dec 2020, it was such a blessing to focus on HIM, our little boy, and not to worry about anything else. (We are forever grateful for the support we received during that time!) As we prepare our hearts for another little life, we have started this campaign for those who would like to share their support financially.
In the spirit of full transparency, when we sold our home in 2022 we set aside $20,000 to prepare for this future adoption. This will cover about 65% of the expected adoption total, with about $12,000 left to meet the total.
It takes a village to raise a child (and sometimes just to bring them home!), and we hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see and know the impact you have on our family and on the little one who we are eager to meet.
There are many other ways to support us as well: we ask for your prayers, your love, and if you're local, your kid's hand-me-downs! Unlike a GoFundMe, your support through AdoptTogether is tax-deductible and the transaction fees are much lower.
Please let us know if you have questions. We are so thankful to share this journey with you!
All our love, Max, Alyssa & Bennett
