Our Adoption Story

Gabrielle Sullivan
Gabrielle Sullivan Elizabethtown, Kentucky

Adoption has been on our hearts for years—not just as hopeful parents, but as family. With two incredible adopted siblings, we’ve seen firsthand how love creates belonging. We believe that every child is created in the image of God and that families are not only formed by biology, but also by love, intention, and grace. We see adoption as a calling, an opportunity to live out our faith through action, by embracing a child with unconditional love and lifelong commitment. Just as God has adopted us into His heavenly family, we look forward to discipling our growing family. 

We are very excited to have been matched with a one year old girl in India! We have several periods of waiting ahead of us as our case moves through different approval processes. We hope to bring her home by summer next year! Please join us in praying that our case will be expedited through the courts. 

We have been approved for two matching grants through Lifesong and our church totaling up to $13,000. It is a dollar for dollar match, so any money raised will be doubled! We are so grateful for these grants!

We have invested about $25,000 so far and have about $26,000 to go to complete the adoption.

More than anything, we’d simply love your prayers as we wait and hope to bring her home early next year.
