The Wellers Adopting – Again!

Emily Weller
Emily Weller Indianapolis, Indiana

As many of you know, we have been in the process to pursue a third domestic infant adoption. Yes, we know we are crazy! We feel the weight of the unknowns and uncertainties, but we are trusting God with each step we take and seeking to follow where we think he is leading us.

We have an active home study from our current agency, but we are planning on switching to an agency that seems to be a better fit and use of funds. The first part of the funds that we raise ($3,000) will enable us to contract with this new agency and be available for expectant moms to consider us in the adoption process.

One exciting piece of news: we have received TWO matching grants of $3,000 (from Lifesong and Hands of Hope). Each dollar we receive up to $6,000 will be matched! We are so thankful for these incredible grants.

Please pray with and for us. The Lord knows his good plans, and he is using this season for good in all of our lives. The girls have sweet, prayerful spirits, and they are asking God to give us another child. May he be pleased to answer their prayers!

Thanks for considering supporting us on this journey. We love you!
