Kierstin and Ethan Rose

We’re so excited to share some wonderful news—our family is growing!

Now that Ethan has finished law school, we are beginning our domestic infant adoption journey. Adoption has been on our hearts for a long time, and we cannot wait to welcome a little one into our home.

What many people don’t realize is just how costly the adoption process can be. Between the home study, agency services, and legal fees, expenses can range anywhere from $35,000–$50,000. To help make this dream possible, we are hoping to raise $15,000 through the generosity of family and friends. Every dollar goes directly toward adoption-related expenses.

We bought a Noah’s Ark puzzle to display in the nursery. We will be writing the names of donors on the backs of the puzzle pieces and then mounting the puzzle between two pieces of glass so the front and back can both be seen. By doing this we hope to be able to share with Baby Rose all the love and support we received in bringing them home.

Alongside this AdoptTogether page, Kierstin is also sewing and selling handmade baby quilts on Instagram, with all proceeds supporting our adoption journey.

Thank you for walking with us in this season—we are so grateful for your encouragement, prayers, and support as we take the next step toward bringing our child home.
