Hello,
We are the Hatton’s! We have had the desire to adopt since before we even got married! We have 3 amazing kiddo’s right now and are waiting to be matched for our 4th! We are very excited to have a new family member!
We have been on the official adoption journey for 2 years now. Fundraising, saving money, working extra hours and doing paperwork! We have reached the “waiting” stage of our journey. We are active in an agency and waiting to be matched! The agency feels that it will be a quick match, which is amazing!!,,,, but also means fees are all due upfront. We are fundraising to raise the last bit of funds we will need to complete the adoption once we get matched 🙂
We have a $7,000 matching grant that will go with this fundraiser! Which means, whatever we raise here will be matched equally up to $7,000. So if you give $25 they give $25, if you give $1000 they give $1000 🙂 Pretty amazing!
Thank-you for stopping by and reading a little bit about us!
