Our love story started back in the summer of 2016 when we met at a church camp and quickly fell head over heels for each other. We got married in 2017 and knew right away that we wanted to grow our family. But our fertility journey wasn’t easy. After finding out that Kaitlyn has endometriosis and PCOS, it took two long years of treatments, surgeries, and a lot of prayers before we were finally blessed with our son, Navy, in 2021. When we tried for a second baby, we faced infertility all over again. After much thought, we realized that adoption was the right path for us—protecting Kaitlyn’s health and expanding our family.
We’ve always known we weren’t done, and we believe this is how God is leading us to complete our family. We’re beyond excited to open our hearts and home to another child and share the love we’ve built. As part of our adoption journey, we are raising funds to help cover the financial costs that come with adoption. Our goal is to raise $60,000, which will go toward covering our home study, agency fees, attorney fees, medical bills for birth mothers, travel expenses and more.
We are incredibly grateful for any support, and we invite you to be a part of our support system as we work toward bringing another child into our family. We love you all and appreciate you all so much!
With Gratitude, Kaitlyn & James Younger
Dancin' because we have made some great progress in our adoption journey! We’re thrilled to share some exciting updates with you! We’ve officially completed our adoption profile book, and Kaitlyn poured her heart and soul into it. We couldn’t be more proud of how it turned out! If you’d like to take a peek at the book, we’d love to share it with you—just reach out to us. Additionally, we’ve applied to six different agencies and are feeling so eager and hopeful as we move forward in the process of matching with potential birth mothers. This journey is becoming more real every day, and we’re incredibly thankful for all the support you’ve shown us so far. We can’t wait to see what’s next!
We’re so excited to share our story with you through this video, where we talk about our journey and why we’ve chosen adoption to grow our family. This process has been filled with hope, faith, and a lot of love, and we are beyond grateful for the support we’ve already received. We’d love for you to be a part of this journey with us—whether through prayer, financial support, or simply sharing our story. Every bit helps us get closer to welcoming our new little one into our family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️
As of September 5th, we are officially homestudy approved, and the entire process was such a special experience for us. We felt like God was with us every step of the way, and we bonded deeply with our social worker. Our home interviews were much longer than normal, simply because we loved sharing our story and connecting on a personal level. It felt like we were meant to meet her, and the process became more than just an approval—it was an opportunity to reflect on our journey and how excited we are to grow our family. We’re incredibly grateful for how smoothly everything went and feel blessed to have had such a positive and meaningful experience.
