Travis & Morgan Thayer

We’ve gone back and forth on how to share this, because it feels both really personal and really important. The truth is our journey to growing our family hasn’t been simple. After a few years of navigating infertility, it’s held a lot of hope, a lot of waiting, and some really hard conversations about what the future might look like for us. Somewhere along the way, we had to let go of what we thought our path would be and start opening our hearts to what it could be instead.

And that’s what led us here.

We are extremely excited to announce…

WE’RE ADOPTING! 🤍

We are beyond excited and are doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome a beautiful new life into our home. Somewhere out there is a little one who will one day call us family, and we can’t wait to meet them.

As we’ve stepped into this process, we’ve learned that adoption is not only emotional, but also comes with significant financial costs. Things like home study fees, agency fees, legal expenses, and travel to bring our baby home can add up quickly, often totaling $35,000 or more.

One thing we’ve also learned is that this process can move quickly. At any point, we could be chosen by a birth mom, and if that happens, many of the costs become due right away.

Over the next few weeks, our goal is to raise as much as possible toward our overall goal of $40,000 to help ease the financial burden that comes with adoption and to be ready when the time comes.

We’ve started this fundraiser to help bring our baby home, and we’re choosing to lean on our community in a way that feels both vulnerable and hopeful.

Donations made are tax-deductible, and all funds go through a process to ensure they are used specifically for adoption-related expenses.

If supporting us is something you feel led to do, we would be incredibly grateful. And if not, your encouragement, prayers, and love still mean more than we can say.

More than anything, we hope that by inviting you into this process, you’ll see yourself as part of the community we’re building around our child as they grow.

We are so excited for this journey and so hopeful for what’s ahead.

With Love, Travis & Morgan 🤍
