Neises Family’s Call to Adopt

Kelsey Neises Franklin, Tennessee

Are we overwhelmed? Excited? Prayerful? Wanting your partnership? YES!

While all the above are true, we are ultimately so thrilled to be stepping into this process and know that God is preparing our hearts, minds and home to welcome a child into it. We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of our community we hope to build around our child as he/she grows up.

As part of our adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. It may surprise you to hear that adoption related costs can easily total up to $50,000 or more. This is why we have set a goal of $37,000 to help ease the financial burden. Would you consider helping us raise this support so that we can grow the Neises family in the way that we feel God has called us to do?

Home Study Approved!!

June 30, 2022

We are so thrilled to share that after months of filling out paperwork, working though educational programs and over 18 hours of home study interviews that we are FINALLY home study approved!!

We are so grateful for each of you praying and asking what is next for us… well, now is the waiting game to be matched. What we are finding is that we could be matched tomorrow, or a year from now. As you can imagine, the waiting game is so hard. Not knowing when you will meet your child or that your future child is waiting to meet you is nothing short of faith building. So we are not without hope that God sees us and knows our hearts desires.

Taiwan had unfortunately had to shut down a bit here and there due to the pandemic thus backlogging waiting families like us and waiting children. We have been able to have confidence and hope that at the right time, the right child for our family will be ready to be adopted by the Neises Family! We cannt wait to meet that child and see their perfect face. Would you keep praying with us? This is a long process and a journey of ups and downs. Would you pray for our future child, that they are being cared for well as we wait to meet them and that they are reminded of their worth and value? Would you pray for the case workers, orphanage employees, foster parents, children waiting to be adopted and other families also in our same shoes? We are so grateful for all of your support.

 

With love and hopeful expectation,

The Neises Family
