We have some very exciting news, the Durrenbergs are adopting!
In the Bible James 1:27 tells us that religion that is pure and faultless is to care for orphans. We couldn’t be happier to follow God’s word and grow our family in this way!
We are excited to embark upon this new adventure, as it’s one we’ve been dreaming of for so long. While we do not yet know what our story of adoption will be, we know that we have the best support system coming alongside us- ready and excited to love this child.
As a part of our adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. As you may know, adoption-related costs can quickly add up to costs over $50,000. Should the need arise, we are also prayerfully considering the adoption of siblings. Because of this, we have set a fundraising goal of $40,000 to help alleviate some of the financial strain.
We would love to invite you to helping bring our child home! Every cent given will go directly towards this process, and there is no amount too big or too small. We are also excited to share we have received matching grants from the Orphan Care Alliance and Lifesong for Orphans! For the first $6,500 raised each dollar given will be matched by these amazing organizations.
We are so thankful for your presence in our lives and are filled with joy over your consideration to give. Your prayers will also mean the world to us along the way.
Thank you for taking the time to be part of our journey. Please reach out with any questions you may have.
With love,
The Durrenberg Family
