There are moments in life when God answers prayers in ways bigger than we could have ever imagined. For our family, that moment came through the beautiful gift of adoption and the blessing of our daughter, Eliza James.
Our journey to Eliza was filled with faith, waiting, prayer, and trust in God’s perfect timing. Adoption is not always an easy road, but every step has reminded us that love creates family long before paperwork is finalized. Through uncertainty, hope carried us forward, and God continually opened doors when we needed them most.
When we first learned about Eliza, something immediately felt special. We knew in our hearts that she was meant to be part of our family. From that moment on, we began preparing not only our home, but our hearts, for the incredible blessing of welcoming her into our lives.
Bringing Eliza home has been one of the greatest joys we have ever experienced. Her smile, her presence, and the love she has already brought into our family are reminders every day that God’s plans are always greater than our own. She is deeply loved, fully cherished, and already changing our lives in beautiful ways.
While adoption is a blessing, it also comes with significant financial costs. Legal fees, travel expenses, agency expenses, home study requirements, and post-placement processes quickly add up. As we continue this journey, we are humbly asking for support from those who believe in the beauty of adoption and the importance of giving children loving, stable homes.
Every donation, prayer, and act of encouragement helps make this journey possible. Your support is not simply helping cover expenses — it is helping build a forever family for Eliza James.
We are incredibly grateful for everyone who walks alongside us during this season. Thank you for believing in our family, praying for us, and supporting our adoption journey. We cannot wait to continue sharing updates and celebrating all the moments ahead as Eliza grows surrounded by love, faith, and family.
With love and gratitude,
The Lott Family
