I’m excited and humbled to share that I’m pursuing the adoption of a child from the US. This is something I have prayerfully considered and felt led toward for a long time. This journey has come after many months of reflection, prayer, and seeking guidance, and I truly believe it’s the path God is calling me to walk. Adoption comes with significant expenses, so I’ve started this page to help make it possible. I have received a $6,000 matching grand from Lifesong for Orphans, so all donations until I reach $6,000 will be matched! If you feel led to support, whether through a donation or by sharing the page, it would mean so much to me. More than anything, I appreciate your prayers and encouragement as I step forward in faith to welcome a child into a loving home. Thank you for being part of this journey with me.
