Hello friends & family!
We are starting another adventure in our family & pursuing another adoption…this time, a sweet girl in India.
We brought home our youngest son from India in August of 2022, & have seen and experienced firsthand all of the blessings and challenges that come with adoption. It. Is. Worth. It.
So, in February 2023, we decided to start our second India adoption.
Now, we have been matched with our daughter since March of 2024! The remaining “wait” is just that…a wait. The timeline is very unpredictable. In the meantime, we will be working on fundraising. The adoption process costs a lot of money in order to do it ethically. So far we have put in about $13,500 out of pocket and also received around $10,500 in gifts/grants. We are needing about $13,250 more in fees and costs to help bring our daughter home.
We would love for you to be a part of the journey through your prayers, first and foremost, but also financially if you are led to do so. AIM5 (a local Topeka ministry) along with Lifesong has given us a total matching grant of up to $7,500. If we can fundraise $7,500, it will end up being $15,000 towards bringing home our daughter.
We ask that you prayerfully consider supporting our adoption. We are truly grateful for whatever you can do to support us. Thank you so much for being a part of our lives and being alongside us for this exciting adventure.
“Adoptive parents have to embrace the intermingling of tragedy and joy. For me, the complexity is a constant reminder of a Savior who had to die so we might experience life.”
-Heather Avis
We feel our family is not yet complete, and we cannot wait to bring this sweet one home…all while embracing all of that tragedy and joy…
Many blessings,
The Boatright Family
