Last year, God blessed us with our son, Declan, through adoption—a gift we will never stop praising Him for. Since then, we have continued to feel the Lord’s call on our hearts to adopt again.
This past Memorial Day weekend, we traveled to Texas full of hope, believing we were about to welcome a precious baby girl into our family. However, we experienced a disrupted adoption—an emotional loss, and one that also cost us much of the adoption funds we had worked so hard to save.
We continue to feel God's presence with us and reassurance that He desires for us to adopt again.
Though it is humbling and completely out of our comfort zone, we are stepping out in faith and opening our hands to ask for help. The financial burden of adoption is heavy—especially now—but we believe in a God who provides. If you feel led to walk alongside us, through prayer or giving, we would be deeply grateful. Your support is more than financial—it’s part of the story God is writing for our family.
With love, faith, and hope in God's plan,
Craig, Amanda, & Declan
