Help us adopt (again!)

Jenny Brooks
Jenny Brooks Sioux Falls, South Dakota

We are thrilled to share that we’re adopting again!

It’s been 2.5 years since we welcomed Rudy into our lives. God has been so good to us in that time, and we believe he’s prepared us to continue growing our family through adoption.

Our hope is to be “matched” with a birth mother and bring home a newborn in the next several months, though it could be sooner or later than that.

God has already enriched our lives through adoption far beyond what we had expected. Honestly, we’re nervous stepping into the unknown again, but we trust God will work it all out for good—ours and baby’s.

Practically speaking, we need to raise $30,000 to pay for the adoption. We have been awarded a $7,000 matching grant from Lifesong for Orphans, which means all of your donations will be matched up to $7,000! This is a great way to have your tax-deductible donation doubled, and get us that much closer to our goal.

We are humbly asking for support from you, our family and friends. If you feel led to donate any amount to help cover costs, we would be extremely grateful.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support on this journey!

We’ve met our matching grant goal!

February 27, 2026

We’re excited to share that we’ve met our $7,000 matching grant goal! Thank you so much to all of our friends and family for your donations. We truly couldn’t do this without your help.

So what’s next? We’re still waiting to be matched with a birth mother. It’s completely out of our control, but we’re trusting God will bring us the right birth mother at the right time. We could get a call any day notifying us that she has chosen us. At that time, we will owe our adoption agency about $15,000. Thanks to this matching grant, we can rest easy knowing that we have the money when we need it! 

Continue to pray for birth mothers and the decisions they face. Adoption can be a very difficult decision, but it is one made with profound love. We’re praying she would feel peace about her choice.

Thank you again!
