We have BIG news! The Graves are adopting again!
We have been married for 14 years and have had many adventures together. We have lived in other countries and traveled all over the world. We have walked the path of infertility for the last 10 years and welcomed our amazing son Horizon in our family 3 years ago, and have clearly felt God guide and direct us to begin our next adventure. Growing our family through another adoption! 🙂
Ephesians 1:5 says "In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will."
We are so excited to see how God is going to continue to stretch and grow us as we walk this path He has set out for us. Our story doesn't look like we thought it would, but we are so thankful that He works together for our good and to bring Him glory.
We are pursuing another domestic infant adoption and have finished our application. We are in the Home Study process with our agency, Lifeline Children's Services.
We ask that you please partner with us by PRAYING for us throughout this entire adventure. Specifically that you would pray for us as a family, for our future child and for the expectant mother who will be making this decision to place with us.
Second, we ask that you consider partnering with us financially as we step forward in obedience to pursue growing our family through adoption. The cost of a domestic infant adoption is around $28,000. We have been working and saving towards this, we also hope to partner with many of you and can't wait to see how God works through this process.
We are so thrilled to have a received a matching grant from Lifesong! For every dollar we raise, Lifesong will match up to $5,000! We would be thrilled to match this entire amount and feel so humbled at the opportunity to do so.
If you have any questions or want to know more about our story, please don't hesitate to ask. You can also check out our website: www.adventureisonthehorizon.com or find us on Instagram @babygravesadventure
We thank each of you for your role in our journey and in the next Baby Graves adventure!
Much love,
Ben & Kristi & Horizon
