To our friends and family, and anyone we may not know personally, hello! Thank you for taking the time to read a little about us and why this page exists. We’re Bryson and Jenna Adams – FSU sweethearts with a heart for service, silliness, and adventure.
Since dating, we’ve felt convicted that we were called to adopt a child into our future family. We know that there are many children born to individuals and families that may determine they are not equipped or ready to raise a child. This number continues to rise as laws pertaining to the rights of unborn children change across the country. We feel confident that the time to step into meet this need is now.
As Christians, we have been chosen by God and adopted as His children. We believe this is an opportunity to live out the good news of Jesus, by opening our hearts and home to adopt a child into our family, just as He’s done for us.
Domestic adoption costs can range between $45,000- $75,000+. We have MATCHED(!!!) with an expectant mom located in a state that is on the highest side of that range. Baby Boy is due on February 12, 2025. Transparently these numbers still feel ominous and daunting to read, even after seeing it over and over again. But God has and will do miracles, so we’re asking that you would prayerfully consider joining us on this journey. They say it takes a village to raise a child and we’re vulnerably reaching out to our community for your prayers and support as we start this process.
We are incredibly grateful for our church, Summit Church, providing us a $10,000 matching grant towards our adoption. Donations through this link contribute towards their match!
