are adopting a child from United States of America

We have BIG news!

We are adopting a child!

We have been pretty quiet about it, but we have been on a journey to become parents for the last five years. In 2018, we decided we were ready to become parents and take the next steps into adding to our family. We decided artificial insemination was the way to go.

It was an exhausting and emotional process. And ultimately, after six unsuccessful attempts with $15,000 invested, we had to admit it wasn’t working. We were heartbroken, and financially devastated, and needed to take a step back.

We took our time to grieve, but in 2021, we realized we were ready to start the journey again. We decided we wanted to adopt, and are beyond excited. Now we are doing everything we can to prepare to welcome a new life into our home.

As part of our adoption process, and at the encouragement of family and friends, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. It may surprise you to hear that adoption-related costs can easily total up to $50,000 or more. This is why we have set a goal of $40,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents.

We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our kid as they grow up.
