We are adopting again!
We are so excited to share that we are hoping to adopt again! Early in our marriage, we would never have expected infertility to be a part of our story, but we are grateful that God used it to lead us to adoption, and ultimately, our amazing daughter. We have absolutely loved being a family of three, but now feel the Lord’s leading to grow our family once again. We cannot wait to welcome another child into our hearts and home. We don’t know how the story ends, but we are trusting God each step of the way.
Our Matching Grant
We are so grateful to have received a $6,000 Lifesong matching grant funded by MedGenyx Fund, so that this can be possible. Domestic infant adoption is costly (averaging $40-$55k), but we are trusting God to provide for our needs. Because of the generosity of this organization, every dollar you donate will be matched, up to $6,000. And thanks to Lifesong’s partners who cover administrative and fundraising costs, 100% of your donation will go directly to our family’s adoption expenses.
What’s Ahead
We do not know yet when a little one will join our family, as we are in the big waiting period of adoption. We will be presenting our family profile, and will wait until the day when we are chosen. But, we are trusting God’s timing, and are excited to grow our family through adoption again. Thanks for being a part of our story!
