Hi! We are Josh, Brandy, and Amelia Jane, and we are in the process of adopting a baby. We have been led to adoption throughout our marriage and we are walking through the process daily. We can’t wait to be matched and meet our sweet, brave birth mama and eventually meet our baby! Our desire is to love and care for a child or sibling set and birth momma through adopting. We are excited to partner with Faithful Adoption Consultants to connect us with a birth mom and our future child(ren).
One of the things most adoptive parents do to prepare to be placed with a birth mama and baby is find creative ways to cover the many costs involved. The total cost of our adoption will be between $30,000 and $55,000.
We’re working hard to cover as many of these expenses on our own as we can. We have been awarded $10,000 in matching grants from Harvest Church + Lifesong for Orphans.
-PRAYERS: This is by far the most effective way you can support us! We know so many people are praying for us, for our birth mama, and for our baby. It means the world to us to be supported in this way.
