2. Financial Partnership
As many of you know, adoption comes with significant financial hurdles. We have been quoted $60,000 to cover agency fees, legal costs, home study fees, birth family expenses, and travel. We were just as shocked by that number as you might be!
We are so thankful to have received a $7,000 matching grant through Lifesong, provided by La Via de James and our "Outside the Walls" partners. This means every dollar you donate will be doubled! All donations are tax-deductible and go directly to the agency to cover adoption expenses.
If you feel led to support us financially, please know that no gift is too small. Every single dollar brings us one step closer to welcoming our child home.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, prayers, and support as we begin this beautiful next chapter!
