Our family is growing again! Since our youngest daughter joined our family in 2022 through India adoption, we've felt sure that we have room for just one more. Back in the Spring, I mentioned to a friend that we kind of had a feeling our next child would be a little boy. We were open to whomever God had for us, but just felt like maybe the whomever was a little guy. She excitedly told us about a little boy who had been waiting a long time for a family - funny thing is, we had known about this sweet boy since his first birthday, we just didn't know he was waiting for a family! We decided to pursue "T" and started the process right away.
"T" has been waiting too long for a family, and we are hoping to get to him as soon as possible. You can help "T" come home by easing some of our financial burden.
We have received a generous $7,000 matching grant through The Tim Tebow Foundation, facilitated by Lifesong. They also supported our first adoption, and have been praying for little guy "T" since May this year! We're excited that they chose to partner with us once again!
Because of this matching grant, every dollar you donate turns into $2, up til $7,000! That means that once we hit our $7,000 goal, we'll really have $14,000 to help us bring "T" home!
You can donate to our matching grant through this platform, or by sending a check via mail.
Donor checks should be payable to "Lifesong for Orphans" and must include Family Number #11831 and "Shawver" in the memo line of the check. Please mail to:
