Hello! We are Brett and Theresa. Thank you so much for visiting our AdoptTogether page and joining us on this journey.
We met in 2014, fell in love, and got married in 2016. When we got married, we were excited for married life and the hope of welcoming children into the world, but so far that hasn’t been God’s plan for us. We sought infertility treatment after treatment, but with no effect. Grieving infertility is not an easy process, and after 6 years of marriage and dealing with infertility, through prayer, conversation, and reflection, we decided that now is the right time to grow our family through adoption.
Adoption has many challenges that need to be worked through: a cumbersome legal process, out-of-state travel, assembling a profile book, consultant fees, medical bills, and many more. These challenges snowball into a big financial hurdle. The typical infant adoption in the United States costs adoptive parents between $40,000 and $50,000, and can be even higher in some cases.
Most importantly, we want to ask for your prayers-working through the challenges of adoption can be physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting. Know of our prayers and gratitude for each of you. We also ask that you pray for the expectant parents and their families as they navigate the difficult situations and emotions they are facing as they discern adoption.
In addition, if you feel so moved, please consider contributing to our adoption fund. No help is insignificant to us. For example, even a $10 donation will cover a coffee stop while we drive (possibly across the country) to meet our child. Whether you are able to financially contribute or not we invite you to return to this page to follow along on this journey to parenthood with us.
Thank you so much for your support!
With love and prayer, Brett & Theresa Werner
