We have the privilege of opening our home to another little one, Lord willing, in early January. We have been gifted a $3,000 matching grant from Team127 Adoption Fund, administered by Lifesong for Orphans! That means every dollar up to $3,000 will be matched! Praise God!
Please read our family story below and consider partnering with us.
In July 2018 we welcomed Amaya Grace into our family via adoption. We were able to be at the hospital and form an open relationship with her birth mother. Miles Isaac (Amaya’s biological brother) joined our family in May 2019 after being born at just 28 weeks.
Amaya and Miles’ birth mother is expecting again and has asked us if we would be willing to add her little boy to our family. She’s due in early February but because of her history of preterm deliveries she will hopefully be a scheduled C-section around 36 weeks (early January).
The adoption of this little boy will make 3 adoptions for our family in 3 years! Although we are very blessed to have the opportunity to keep siblings together, with that comes the need for financial support.
Please join us as we pray for these things specifically:
-Comfort and strength for Birth Mom as she processes through another adoption and what that looks like for her family.
-Health for her and baby boy. May they both make it to the 36 week mark, avoid complications and stay out of the NICU.
-Wisdom for us as we begin paperwork and fundraising efforts. (We are looking to raise about $35,000 total to cover the adoption fees, birth mother expenses, travel, and adoption finalization.)
-Wisdom as we interact with Birth Mom and others associated with the process, that we may be an example of Christ.
-Strength for us as we prepare to add another baby into our family and all the transitions that that will entail.
