Jeff & Crystal Reid
are adopting a child from United States of America
James 1:27 - 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬: 𝐭𝐨 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝. We take this verse as a command. So, we are beyond excited and doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome a beautiful new life into our home. We completed a Home Study and have an Adoption Attorney on retainer. We are currently trying to self-match rather than hiring an adoption agency. As part of our adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. 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. You can donate electronically by credit card or debit card. Checks are also accepted. Unlike other platforms, donations made through 𝑨𝒅𝒐𝒑𝒕𝑻𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 are fully tax deductible.
