We are Ryan and Amanda Locuson. We have been married for 8 years. Ryan is in sales and Amanda is teacher. We are looking to adopt from the U.S. Our original plans to start our family were derailed, proving you cannot predict where life will take you. Despite various setbacks, we did not allow misfortune to consume us. Through infertility battles and triumphs, both public and private, we remained faithful. We kept praying and seeking an answer. We filled the time volunteering with the children at our church. Even went to Haiti twice to volunteer at an orphanage. One day on a whim Amanda signed up for an informational meeting at a local adoption agency. When we left the meeting we were both confident that this was the path God was calling us to. Our story is adoption, and we are so EXCITED! What an amazing way to live out scripture and complete our family. Now that you know a bit more about us, we need your help. Our agency fees are between $25,000 and $30,000. Family, friends, college acquaintances, high school teammates, pen pals, your grandma's neighbor in Michigan…well, you get the idea. You can be part of this adventure with your financial gift or simply by keeping us in your daily prayers. Should you choose to make a financial contribution it will be 100% tax deductible. Please consider sharing our story with others (family members/co-workers/Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, etc.) so that we can finally open our home to a child who needs us. Your generosity will be appreciated in many ways and your investment will continue to pay dividends for many years to come. We plan to update our page regularly so that you will be aware of where we are in the adoption process and how things are going with us. Thank you! Ryan and Amanda
