We have EXCITING news!
We are adopting!
Our journey to get pregnant with our son was longer than expected. It was a very hard and scary labor, which had both our son and Ashley remain in the hospital for a few days. Ashley is not a candidate for IVF and the chances of getting pregnant again, take be another miracle.
We've always talked about adoption and now we believe God has guided us to this decision. We've always wanted more children and now we can't wait to grow our family.
Adoption is not without it's financial cost. As part of our adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. To help ease the financial burden, we are looking to raise $24,000. Any funds raised above and beyond will be put towards our children's college funds.
We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our children as they grow up.
Every person who donates to our adoption becomes a part of our story; a piece of our puzzle.
Here’s how it works:
• We have selected a 500 piece puzzle; every piece symbolizing someone who will help bring our baby home.
• Each piece is a minimum donation of $20
• You may choose to be one piece of the puzzle or several pieces of the puzzle.
• YOUR name will be written on the back of each piece you represent!
• After the puzzle is completed, we will frame the puzzle between two pieces of glass and hang it in our child’s room. This will be a wonderful keepsake to see all the people who helped bring the newest member of our family home!
YOU will be a part of completing our missing piece to the puzzle.
If we sell ALL 500 pieces…do the exciting math…that will raise around $10,000! This will cover a huge chunk of our adoption!
