Tommy & Ashley G.

are adopting a child from United States of America

"The Love of a Family is life's greatest blessing." ~Eva Burrows

We began this adoption journey in the Fall of 2021. We took courses to prepare ourselves for adoption and all that may come with it. We were ready, and then we weren't. We had not yet given fertility treatments a try and maybe there was an easy fix. So we pivoted to fertility treatments.

January 2022-June 2024 we sought out fertility treatments. Tommy and Ashley both underwent surgeries to help fix issues and once those were sorted out, began trying IUI. This was a gray area for us as in our Catholic Faith IVF is not something that we believe respects life and God's role in marriage and a life. IUI still allowed God to work, but also gave us a better chance. We felt so fortunate too because we had infertility insurance that helped pay for most of these treatments! 7 tries later, there was no success in our IUI treatments. We know that it is not part of God's plan right now and we are accepting that. We are still feeling called to being parents which brings us to this.

We need help. Infant Adoption in the United States can cost anywhere from $35,000 to $60,000. The agency that we have chosen to go with, St. Elizabeth Coleman, costs about $30,000. "It takes a village to raise a kid" is what we keep hearing. What we are hoping is that our village will help us adopt a kiddo before we can raise one.

We would love any support that is given to us: prayers, time, happiness, talents, and monetary donation. We already know that we are so loved and our future child is so loved. Thank you in advance for all the love and support you have and will always show us. We love our village.
