We are adopting! And we’d love you to be part of the story. We've been blessed to have been awarded $8000 in matching grants from Cheerful Giving Adoption Fund + Lifesong for Orphans, so any giving applied through this page qualifies towards that gift.
Our story...In 2021 we learned that we wouldn’t be able to have children biologically.
We made the decision together to really take the time, and contemplate if the childfree life was for us, or if we wanted to grow our family. The last three years we’ve come to the joyful and exciting decision that growing our family through adoption is the choice for us. As we prayerfully review matches we’d love to ask our community for their support.
You may know, but adoption incurs significant cost. Google it, and you’ll see. We’d humbly accept donations to help us open a new door after the door of healthy pregnancy and childbirth was closed to us.
This hasn’t been easy, and even writing this all out feels strange, but we’ve been bolstered by our community and blessed by the people in our lives and we can’t wait to grow our family alongside all of yours.
Love, Stephanie and James Cox
