Many people assume that the financial costs of adoption end once the paperwork is signed and the child is home. In reality, for many families, those costs continue long after the initial expenses. Children who join their families through adoption often carry additional needs that require specialized counseling and therapeutic support services that can be both essential and costly, and are not always fully covered by insurance.
It is because of this ongoing need that we are launching a fundraising initiative for one of our children.
This child is a beautiful person, made in the image of God. Our deepest desire is that they would feel whole, grow in strength and confidence, and be better equipped to face the future while making peace with the past. The therapies we are pursuing are an important part of that journey.
We are partnering with Lifesong for Orphans as we raise funds for this need. Through this partnership, every donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar, effectively doubling the impact of your gift.
Thank you for your love, prayers, and support for our family. Your generosity makes a tangible difference.
