Chanel & Jon Whitaker

are adopting a child from United States of America

We have BIG news!

We have decided to expand Our family by adopting a baby boy or girl! After years of soaking up married life, it's time to pursue Gods gift of parenting. There is A LOT of paper work involved, but well worth it. In addition to lots of applications, the amount of money that is involved is overwhelming. We are embarking on this journey in a few ways. We have a partial sponsorship we are grateful to have been offered. In addition to the sponsorship and Our contribution, to complete the adoption we will need $5,000.

I will be keeping everyone posted on the progress of our fundraising!

ALL of our love, Chanel & Jon

    This update is extremely surreal! While Jon & I were away celebrating Our 5 year wedding anniversary, we received a call from our amazing adoption attorney… WE’VE BEEN CHOSEN! 🍾🫶🏼🎉 As if the announcement couldn’t get any sweeter, it absolutely did. To my surprise, We have been chosen to adopt a Latina baby girl due July 2024. Dreams do come true, & Prayers do get answered! We are very excited, nervous & all the emotions in between. We ask with surrendered hearts for you to join us in prayer as we get past what’s left of the adoption journey.... Read more

    Happy New Year friends & family! I hope your start to 2024 has been full of love. Just writing to update, no new news on Baby Whitaker. At this point, we are praying & continuing to patiently wait on God to pair us with who ever Baby Whitaker’s birth mom should be.

    We were instructed to just stay ready so when we get the call, we can be full steam ahead!

    Thank you all for coming along side us while we pray, wait & trust on Gods perfect timing!

    Biggest hug & all our love!
