James and Rachel Pappas

Hello friends and family!

We have BIG news that we are excited to announce!

We are adopting a child!

Adoption is a big part of our life stories. From the beginning of our relationship, we knew that adoption was our calling. God has continued to affirm that decision and open doors for us to continue forward. After much prayer and preparation, we are excited to start our own journey through the adoption process. We are so ready to bring a new little Pappas into our home.

As part of our adoption process, we have started a fundraising campaign. It may surprise you to hear that adoption-related costs can easily total up to $35,000 or more. This is why we have set a goal of $40,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents. (With our family pursuing international adoption, we have aimed higher for potential added expenses.)

We truly believe that it takes a village to raise a child. We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the village that we love and trust to help support our child as he/she grows up.

We would also like to request that even if you cannot donate monetarily, you join us in prayer as we continue through this journey. Thank you so much for your support. We could not do it without our people.
