Vito & Melissa Paratore

are adopting a child from United States of America

We are so excited to grow our family through adoption! After several years of not being able to conceive and lots of prayer, we are feeling God calling us to adopt. We are very excited for this new chapter in our lives and can't wait to welcome a beautiful new life into our home.

As part of our adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. It may surprise you to hear that adoption-related costs can easily total up to $35,000 or more. We have added up agency costs and potential extra costs (lawyer fees, birth mother expenses, home study, etc.) We have estimated our total to be around $48,000. But for now, to get us officially started in the process we need an upfront payment of $28,000. We are reaching out for support and help to ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents so we can bring home our new son or daughter!

We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our child as he/she grows up.

    My daughter adopted a child from India in 2017. The process took several years but came to fruition with the help of many others. We are happy to help you towards your goal. Praying and trusting for God's provisions.
