Hello and thank you for considering a donation in support of our adoption!
We would like to share with you a bit of our story, which brought us here.
We have always wanted a big family. Ever since we first met we talked about how we wanted four children; even before we had one! We feel so blessed to have the opportunity to raise our three children. Being parents is truly the greatest gift in our lives.
In 2020, we decided we were ready for our fourth and final baby. Little did we know, we ended up at the beginning of a long road of loss and heartbreak. Over the span of four years, we went through losing three babies in the second trimester, and two in the first trimester.
After a long time of healing and prayer, we’ve come to feel that there is purpose in our pain and in April of 2025 we started our journey of adoption.
As amazing as adoption is, it brings with it a very large expense.
We have been saving and applying for various adoption grants. We recently found out we were awarded a matching grant through, ‘Lifesong for Orphans.’ They will match every dollar we raise up to $6,500!
If you feel moved to do so, we would feel so appreciative of anyone who feels willing to help us reach our grant’s capacity!
We truly feel that going on this journey in adopting a baby is something that will fulfill our family’s’ hearts and will provide a beautiful life for a sweet little one.
Thank you for considering and please know how much we appreciate every dollar, as it’s a step towards bringing our baby home. ♥️
With Love and Gratitude~
