We would like to invite you to join us on our journey of growing our family. Almost two years ago, we welcomed our son into our family through adoption and we invite you to participate in our second adoption.
It is with excitement (and some fear) we again face the unknowns of a second Domestic Infant Adoption. It is this journey we ask you to join us on. We ask that you would consider supporting us in this process in prayer and/or giving.
Prayer.
Please be in prayer for us. That this process would draw us closer together as a family and closer to God.
Please pray for our birth mom. That she would have peace in making an adoption plan for her child. Pray she takes care of herself and her unborn child. Pray she would experience God in a new way through this process.
Please pray for the child we will adopt into our family. That he or she would be healthy and strong knowing they have two families who love them.
Giving.
Adoption is expensive. There are many costs involved in adopting a child including but not limited to legal fees, administration fees, medical expenses for the birth mother and child and more. The total cost being well over $25,000.
However you choose to support our family, whether through prayer or giving, thank you! This would not be possible without you!
