Adoption means growing our family. We knew that it was unlikely we would have biological children due to medical issues. We knew from the beginning of our relationship that adoption would be part of our story. We are familiar with adoption, having adopted our daughter, and Paula’s family adopting her seven brothers. We understand the beauty and complexity of adoption and feel confident in continuing to grow our family.
We are matched with birthmom. She is due in mid-November with a baby girl. We are thrilled to welcome this little girl into our family. Our nine-year-old daughter has been praying daily for three years for a baby sister!
We have a matching grant of $5,000 from Lifesong for Orphans. We have set our goal for $10,000. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and pary for our family.
