We are so grateful for the little family the Lord has given us and have had a deep desire to grow our family for several years. Adoption has been something Julian and I have talked about for several years even while dating and after struggling with secondary infertility for 3.5 years, God made it clear to us that he was opening the doors for to pursue adoption. We are thrilled to share that we’ve been matched with an expectant mom who will give birth to a precious baby girl in June! We are so excited to bring this little girl into our family!
As many of you know, there are high financial costs associated with adoption — legal fees, living expenses and counseling fees for the birth mom, a home study, etc. We have worked hard to contribute our own money and apply for available adoption grants. We are so grateful to share that we have been awarded $7,000 in matching grants from Hope That Binds Adoption Fund and Lifesong for Orphans! This means that every dollar donated to our fund, will be matched by these organizations! We humbly ask you to consider contributing to bringing our baby girl home.
We are so grateful for the support and prayers that so many of you have given us over the years. We covet your prayers as we move forward in this process and seek to raise this little girl faithfully and show Christ to her birth parents.
