Help the Haverkamps Adopt

Luke Haverkamp
Luke Haverkamp Des Moines, Iowa

Hi there! We’re the Haverkamps. Since the beginning of our relationship we have been set on adoption. Not only was it God’s heart, we had seen and known so many orphans through Bring Me Hope Camp in China. We started the formal process in 2021. Although several moves (including overseas for a bit) complicated the process, we were matched with our son Nathan in November 2023.

We heading to Taiwan for a visit and court in August and hope to return to Taiwan to pick up Nathan and bring him home by the end of the year.

International adoption isn’t cheap! And we hope to use this fundraising tool to help us pay for our travel costs to go to Taiwan twice. Your gift is tax deductible and will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Tim Tebow Foundation (up to $7,000).

Thank you!

Back From Taiwan!

September 12, 2024

We are back from Taiwan and have had a whirlwind of emotions in our short time there. We are so thankful to be able to get to meet Nathan in person and spend the past few days with him! We spent all day Monday and Tuesday getting to know and playing with Nathan. We went to an indoor play place and an aquarium. On Wednesday we got to meet Nathan’s birthday mom and we had our court hearing. We will hear in the next few months the results of that court meeting.

 

Thanks for joining us on this journey!
