Bringing Home Baby Carnley

Megan Carnley Birmingham, Alabama

We are pursuing domestic adoption to grow our family with a daughter/sister!  We would love if you would consider partnering with us on this long journey to bring home our baby girl!  We are currently a family of 5, with 3 boys, that range from 15 to 7 years old.  The boys are terribly excited and have been praying for God to bring their sister when the time is right. Admittedly, they have all prayed that it be sooner rather than later — got to love children’s honesty! We love our boys, and one of our greatest joys is getting to parent, teach, and love them well. We just have found that we have even more of that love to give!  We are excited to walk along side a birth mother and her baby in their journey to find the right decisions and paths to take. The depth of that responsibility and attention to care for each person’s heart involved is not lost on any of us. We believe that these are hard decisions that can lead to amazing things for all involved.  We know that genetics doesn’t always make a family, nor do they need to all match, but they are all held together by plenty of love and lots of grace.  This is why the t shirts we are selling to help fundraise say on them, “Love Makes a Family, Grace Makes it Possible”. This has been played out in our lives, through our love story that created our beautifully blended family, and now with our adoption journey.

Would you join us in praying for our future daughter and if you feel led to, by giving towards our matching grant?  Every dollar (up to $7000!) you give is matched by a partnership between Lifesong for Orphans and our Church, Brookhills! And it is Tax Deductible!

Heartfelt thanks,
The Carnleys
