Our family has already grown through adoption. We welcomed Izaura into our home when she was 2 years old, and our lives changed exponentially through her spunky personality. Three years later we had the privilege of adopting her into our family. Our family ties and connections have expanded because of her. She is excited as well to welcome more kids into our house and has professed she will be a good helper. This girl has a lot of love to give.
We have always hoped to be parents and create a loving home for children. The opportunity to adopt again fills our hearts with gratitude and excitement, and we have so much love to share as we grow our family.
We have had a second adoption on our hearts since 2023. After struggling with infertility and walking through the adoption journey for Izzy, we have taken time to grieve, pray and ask for wisdom in this process. We are partnering with Greater Hopes Adoption Center to help us adopt domestically. Our hope is to adopt an infant and Greater Hopes works closely with birth families and adoptive families to foster good connections. We have not yet been matched and are eagerly awaiting and preparing for that day.
Please consider contributing financially to our adoption to help us reach our goals. To help us with the costs and expenses, we have already been blessed to receive matching grants from Lifesong for Orphans for $3,500 and our own church, Crossroads Bible Church for an additional $3,500. That means your donations will be doubled, up to $7,000. Our costs exceed these amounts so we will be immensely grateful for your partnership. Above all, please pray for us as we walk this path toward growing our family.
Prayerfully, we are holding tightly to the calling on our lives to “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; spare not; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread abroad to the right hand and to the left.” (Isaiah 54:2-3a)
STRIPE charges an online processing fee (2.2% +.30 USD per transaction)*. Your donations will be decreased by this amount. You may also send a check payable to “Lifesong for Orphans”. In the memo line please write “Tundevold 11899”, to ensure it is credited to our account. Please mail to Lifesong for Orphans, PO Box 9, Gridley, IL 61744.
Lifesong has been blessed with partners who underwrite all U.S. administrative and fundraising costs (TMG Foundation and other partners). That means 100% of your donation will go directly to the adoption.
