We have BIG news!
We are adopting and have been matched with a BABY BOY!!
We are beyond excited and are doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome a beautiful new life into our home through infant domestic adoption. 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 $30,000 or more. We currently have $19,000 remaining from our last fundraising push and are in need of an additional $7,000 to be fully funded and help ease the cost of travel.
Here is a list of future expenses:
Placement fee: $17,416
ICPC: $750 for Florida and $1,500 for California
Lawyer fee: $1,500
Travel: Flights (aprox $1900) and 14 days room and board. If timeline allows we have been gifted a home to say at for 6 of those days (possibly more depending on availability)
In addition to fundraising we have applied for 3 adoption grants and are waiting to hear back.
We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our sweet boy as he grows up. We would not be able to do this without your love and support. Your prayers and gifts mean the world to our growing family. We LOVE and APPRECIATE each of you!!
