Hello! We are so excited to finally be starting the adoption process. If you know me (Jess), you know I have wanted to be a mom since I was about 5. We have really worked through a lot to be here, but we are so excited to be officially contracted with Everlasting Adoptions based in California! https://everlastingadoptions.com/
As we begin this process, I am trying to finish my Master's at lightning speed, which we have been paying for out of pocket. We put down a $5,000 deposit with Everlasting Adoptions and will be paying about $2,800 for our home study in just a few short weeks. We feel confident that we will be able to pay the rest of the fees that will be associated with our adoption (attorney fees, birth mother fees, more agency fees, finalization fees), but we are needing help with the rest of the agency fees so that they can market us to birth mothers!
That is why we are seeking help with $10,000. We went with Everlasting Adoptions, in large part, because they keep their costs VERY low in comparison to many other organizations. If you have other questions about the process of adopting and the finances of it, please feel free to reach out to one of us! We would love your support and also understand that this is a tough time for many. We are actively applying for scholarships, grants, and low-to-no interest loans as well, so hopefully, this number will go down, but rest assured that your money will not go to anything other than our adoption.
Thanks for your consideration, support, love, and celebration! -Jess and Sam
