Thank you for checking out our giving site and your interest in our adoption journey! We are excited to be in this process and are expectantly waiting to be matched. Many of you have expressed interest in helping us. Here are some ways that you can join us in preparing for this precious child.
PRAY: This is the most important way that you can help us! We believe in the power of collective prayer and we need your prayers. Join us in praying for our adoptive baby and birth mom. Our heart is that they would know God, be filled with peace, not feel alone and be healthy. Prayers for us as well as the process is long and can be challenging.
SHARE: Our journey is not private and we encourage you to share our story with your family, friends and others with a heart for adoption. You can share this site and encourage them to follow along.
GIVE: Private adoption is expensive, but not too expensive for God. He has put adoption on our hearts and we know He will make a way. We have been saving for this adoption for a while, but our funds are not enough. We humbly ask you to prayerfully consider donating, any gift is a huge blessing and an investment in this child’s future. (Donations made through this site are tax deductible and can only be used for adoption expenses.)
OUR STORY: Our story begins in the late summer of 2016. We had just started dating when Julie started experiencing some menopause-like symptoms. She went to the doctor and shortly thereafter we learned that our chances of having a biological family were slim to none. We processed it together and started working through that loss. In our early years of marriage, we were considering adoption, but we still held on to the hope of having a biological baby. Miraculously, in 2020, God answered our prayers and we got pregnant! He blessed us with our beautiful daughter Hazel who is a fun, silly and caring girl.
After Hazel was born, we hoped Julie’s body would “reset” and we would be able to have more children, but unfortunately it did not. We still deeply desire to grow our family and that desire has now brought us back to our pursuit of adoption. We see God’s example of adopting us as His own children as a model for our family. Hazel is so excited to welcome a sibling that she tells everyone that she is going to have a baby brother AND a baby sister!
Thank you for joining us on our journey!
David, Julie and Hazel
