Kaitlyn & James Younger

are adopting a child from United States of America

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 $10,000, which will go toward covering our home study, 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

    Homestudy Approved! AHHH!

    September 21, 2024

    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.
