We have BIG news!
We've been matched with a baby boy and are so excited to start our family. We've done everything we can to prepare for this little one and feel incredibly blessed to have an open relationship with both birth mom, grandma, and big brother and sister. Baby boy currently resides in our care and we are over the moon. We had a bump in the road with our TPR (termination of Parental Rights) hearing and will now be going to trial.
Unfortunately, the legal costs have compounded and we face not being able to move forward. You may be surprised to know that just adoption fees have cost $35,000 and we now are facing additional legal fees of $75,000.
While this number is discouraging, our faith in the Lord to grant the desires of our hearts remains steadfast and true. Any donation, large or small is not only appreciated but seen as divine intervention.
Our next hearing is October 24, 2023 where our trial date will be set. We will need to supply the remaining retainer fee at that time. We will keep you posted!
Our court proceedings will begin October 9th. After depositions we will get a trial date. Please keep praying for us.
