This is a little vulnerable for us to share, but it’s important.

For a long time, we’ve talked about growing our family through adoption. It’s something that’s felt right to both of us, not just as an idea, but as a real path we want to take together. We keep coming back to the same belief that there are kids out there who need a home, we want to be parents, and we have so much love to give.

We’re at the point where we’re ready to take that step. At the same time, adoption is expensive in ways we didn’t fully understand until we started looking into it more seriously. Asking for help isn’t easy for us, but we know we can’t do this entirely on our own.

We’re hoping to raise up to $50,000 to help make this possible. Truly, anything helps—whether that’s contributing, sharing this, or just being in our corner as we go through the process.

More than anything, we’re just really hopeful! This is something we’ve wanted for a long time, and we’re ready to build our family this way.

Thank you for reading and for being part of this with us :)
