God willing, our family will soon grow!
To be honest, we thought our home would be a little more full by now, but shortly after Ellie Kate was born we realized that having more biological children might not be possible for us. Although adoption has been on our hearts for years, we got hung up on waiting for the “right time.” It’s clear now this has always been God’s Plan A for us—and we couldn’t be more excited!
We are so grateful to Lifesong for Orphans and AIM5 Foundation! Thanks to them, we are absolutely speechless (and in happy tears) as we share this INCREDIBLE news with you:
WE HAVE BEEN AWARDED TWO MATCHING GRANTS — totaling $7,500!!!
$5,000 from AIM 5 Foundation in Topeka
$2,500 from Lifesong
That’s $7,500 in matching funds that will DOUBLE every dollar you give — up to the full amount!!!
This is a MIRACLE. A blessing. A major leap forward in bringing our child(ren) HOME. We have dreamed, prayed, and waited for this day… and IT. IS. HERE. God is SO good, and His timing is always perfect.
And now… we get to tell YOU — our faithful friends and family — that it’s go time.
You can now make your gift go TWICE as far, helping us not only bring our child(ren) home but also care for their needs as we welcome them into our family.
Every $1 you give becomes $2!
Your impact is multiplied!
Your generosity becomes part of this unfolding miracle.
Jesus has been present in every step of this journey—sometimes in quiet whispers, gentle confirmations, and unseen provision. But this moment feels like a loud, thunderous roar from heaven reminding us: our King is on the move. He goes before us. He opens doors. And He surrounds us with generous, faithful people who are standing in the gap to help make this calling a reality.
We’re watching God make a way where there seemed to be none, and we’re holding on tightly as He writes this beautiful story.
We are currently awaiting a match and trusting God to lead us to the child, sibling duo, or twins He has chosen for our family. Our hearts are open, and we are excited to see what He has in store.
Thank you for being part of it. Thank you for giving. Thank you for praying. Thank you for believing.
As we’ve prayed and sought wisdom from other adoptive families, along with our consultant, one big question has been finances. It’s daunting to think that adoption can cost up to (and sometimes over) $60,000. But “…my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Phil 4:19)
Our goal is to raise $50,000. All of this funding covers home studies, agency and legal fees, birth mother care, and more. Even though our journey only just began in August 2024, we have seen God’s hand writing this story for years. He is so kind, and it is evident in the way He’s cared for us so early on in the process. We believe He will be faithful to finish what He’s started in this. (Phil 1:6) We are choosing to lean on Him even when it sounds scary.
God has not been shy about proving His character to us. (Ps. 116:5) He is faithful. He is good. And He cannot be anything but that. (2 Tim. 2:13) As we move forward, we trust in God’s perfect timing and His plan for our family. Our hearts are open to twins or a sibling group, and we can’t wait to witness how God’s story for our family unfolds. This is a journey we’d love for you to share with us.
To our incredible family, friends, and church community: your prayers, encouragement, and support mean the world to us. We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our second and/or third child. Thank you for considering a financial gift to help us bring our child(ren) home.
