We are so excited to announce that we are in the process of adopting a baby!
Since the beginning of our relationship, we have talked about adopting one day. After being blessed with our daughter in 2018, we really hoped that God would allow us the opportunity of adopting our next child. This past year we really prayed and sought after what was next for the growth of our family and God has answered our prayers and given us the desire of our hearts.
In order to bring our baby home, we have started a crowdfunding profile. Adoption costs can be up to $45,000. We have set a goal of $15,000 to help us through the process. We appreciate your financial support and your prayers as we walk this journey together!
It really does take a village and we are so thankful for ours!
We received the email yesterday informing us that we are officially home study approved! We are so excited! We have one more training to attend before we can receive placement, but we are now a "waiting family". Our agency can now show our profile to expectant mothers who are looking for a family to match with. Please keep praying for us as we finish up a few things to continue preparing to be a family of four!
God has generously blessed and provided throughout our fundraisers over the past two months. He has surrounded us with people to love and support us on this journey and it has been abundantly joyous for us to share it with you all.
Because of all of this love and support, we were able to start our homestudy process this week! We have begun to gather the necessary documents and will soon be starting with the required trainings to prepare us. After we have completed our paperwork and trainings, our case will be assigned. Our case worker will have three months to review our home study and conduct interviews with us before we can be approved as a waiting family.
What this means is that we could be home study approved and ready to be a waiting family by the end of the year! However, it doesn't mean that our work is over. We still have fundraisers coming your way as we prepare for the home study fees and placement fees coming up. God hasn't let us down yet, and we have seen him moving in big ways even in the small and quiet moments of this journey.
Please join us in praying over this homestudy, for God's perfect timing, and most importantly the birth mother of our precious babe as she carries the weight of choosing adoption, and ultimately choosing life, for our child. Thank you for all the love and support!

We received the call that let us know we are officially accepted by Christian Adoption Services as an adoptive family! Currently, we are on hold until we've raised enough money to get through our homestudy. Once we've reached that goal we will be moving forward to complete our next step putting us that much closer to bringing our baby home!
Please continue to pray for us as we navigate the next few months in raising money and awareness for our baby!
