Home - Our journey begins

Why we are adopting...
We have been married for almost 16 years (feels like a lifetime ^_^) but, there are still ONLY 2 of us.  We have tried in vitro fertilization (IVF) but that ended in a miscarriage.



There is always a BUT!!! Thanks to my parents for asking a great question to the right person and relaying the answer. The spark from that answer is now a fire.


The good news.....
We have always discussed adoption...way back when we were dating.  :-)
Now we are blessed to be in the middle of a home study with a great case working and agency for infant adoption. The more we complete, the shorter the timeline gets.

Our goal....
To share with friends and family out journey as we make our way through the process and ask for your support, through prayer and/or financially. The total cost of the adoption is $10,000 - $12,000. Our goal is to raise $5,000.


Now - we are facing the hardest part of the phase - the cost. While our hearts are excited and we have the wonderful support of our family, we are getting closer and closer to face those hard facts.

Things we know....

  • The cost is high - $10,000 - $12,000
  • We need help with $5,000 - our goal
  • We need your help if you are able. Every penny is treasured and adds up! The money will go towards the adoption and legal fees.


We are very grateful for all of the love and support that we have received during this awesome road to building our family. We can't wait to share the arrival of our child with all our family and friends.
