We have BIG news!
We are adopting!!!!
We are beyond excited and are doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome a beautiful new life into our home. As part of our adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. It may surprise you to hear that adoption related costs can easily total up to $35,000 or more. This is why we have set a goal of $20,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents.
It takes a village to raise a child…and in this case help us grow our family! We want you to be a part of this journey the Lord is leading us on. Our prayer is that, by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our child as they grow up.
How it Works:
You choose an "envelope" from 1-200. Scroll down to our list of envelope numbers to make sure yours is still available, first. No need to click on it, just go straight to the "donate" button.
Donate the amount on your envelope. For example, if you choose envelope 76, you donate $76. You can also feel free to claim more than one envelope if you'd like! We will take the envelopes off the profile for you.
The site you're donating through (Adopt Together) will work with us to send our adoption agency a check to cover some of the costs. We won't ever touch your money personally.
You receive a tax write-off for your donation
If every envelope is claimed, we'll have covered $20k of the expenses, and our child will forever know how many people sacrificed to bring them into their forever family.
We also ask, most importantly, that you begin praying for our future child, our future child's birth-family, and for us. Our prayer is that the Lord would be honored and Jesus would be made much of in the lives of all three!
All our love,
Justin & Ellen
