Hello friends and family!
We are excited to share some pretty big news with you…
We are adopting a baby!
Our answer to the Lord has always been yes to adoption. Throughout dating, engagement and marriage, adoption has been central for us, and we knew if the Lord called us, we would say yes. What we didn't expect was for loss and infertility to be a part of our story, but how beautiful that we are finally here. We are thrilled and expectant to see all that the Lord will do through this process. He has so kindly been writing this story for us and we are filled with joy at His faithfulness to grow our family through adoption.
As part of our adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. Believe it or not, adoption costs can easily total up to $50,000+. These costs include state legal fees, home study, attorney fees, agency fees, post placement appointments, etc. We have set a goal of $40,000 to ease the financial burden that often can overwhelm adoptive parents.
Our prayer is that the Lord will call others to come alongside us in this process, and that by doing so you're able to participate in the beautiful picture of the gospel happening here on earth and be a part of the strong and loving community around our child as he/she grows up. If you feel called to support our journey, donations through AdoptTogether will send you a receipt and allows you to claim it as a charitable contribution on your taxes. Whether through monetary or prayerful support, we feel beyond blessed by your kindness.
We are so grateful for your part in this and ask for continued prayers for our family, the expecting mother and our future baby.
The verse we are praying and remembering is Ephesians 3:20 "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
