We’re excited to share, we’re adopting!

God has placed adoption on our hearts, and we’re thrilled to share that we’re growing our family through adoption! As parents to Bentley and Tate, we’ve experienced the incredible joy of raising children, and we’re excited to welcome another little one into our home.

I (Lauren) grew up deeply moved by the lower adoption rates for children of color, dreaming of one day adopting a child who would grow up knowing they were deeply wanted and cherished. When Brian and I discovered we shared this dream of adoption, we knew God was at work. Our faith journey has only deepened this calling.

Through fertility challenges and prayer, we felt God’s gentle but persistent tugging toward adoption. He’s opened doors in remarkable ways, connecting us with our adoption agency through our church family and surrounding us with other adoptive families who encourage and support us.

The path to adoption includes significant costs – typically up to $60,000. We’re stepping out in faith to raise $45,000 to help bring our child home. Every gift, whether through prayer, encouragement, or financial support, helps us move closer to completing our family.

With grateful hearts, Brian & Lauren
