Scott and Jay Paranada-Fried

are adopting a child from United States of America

We have big news! We have decided to adopt to complete our family! We are looking forward to another bundle of joy in our home. We are currently in the waiting stage, but we hope to welcome our little one in 2026. Lily is super excited to become a big sister!

It might surprise you to learn that the cost of our adoption will likely be over $50,000. To mitigate the costs, we hope to raise 4K through our fundraising efforts with the support and generosity of family and friends. Any donation, no matter how small, will be so much appreciated. Love, Scott, Jay, and Lily

    Still waiting for a match!

    January 2, 2026

    Dear Donors,

    The last week of December, we thought we might have had a match with a family in upstate New York, but they ultimately chose someone else. So we are still waiting! We are hopeful that our match will come by summertime. We will let you know any news as soon as we have it. Thanks again for all your support! May you all have a wonderful new year!

    Take care,
    Scott and Jay
