We have some big news! We are so excited to be able to grow our family through the gift of adoption. Our journey to parenthood has not been easy, but we know that bringing a beautiful life into our home will have made it all worth it.
We would love for you to consider helping us bring home a baby by contributing to our crowdfunding. After having a disrupted adoption in April, we are asking people to consider helping us fundraise toward matching with another expectant mother. We cannot thank you enough for your consideration, and most of all, prayers, as we continue on this journey to parenthood. If you can’t contribute financially, but would like to contribute spiritually, please consider praying a novena to Saints Anne & Joachim for our intentions: https://www.praymorenovenas.com/saints-joachim-and-anne-novena
Much love to you all, and thank you for your support!
Love, Lauren & Michael
