About this Fundraiser

We have BIG news!
Our family is GROWING! 
Brynlee is ready for a sibling :) 

Growing our family through adoption is what God has set before us and we are beyond excited to continue this journey. We felt called to this before Brynlee, and pursued it, but ended up with a little surprise during our home study process in 2019 :) After having our bio daughter Brynlee, we have felt God's leading to adoption for baby #2.

We desperately need for you to join us on this journey as it takes a village for this to be possible! 

Many people ask, why is adoption so expensive? Where does all that money go? No, it is not purchasing a kid. Rather, the funds help provide for legal fees, home-study assessments, professional counseling for the birth family, state and federal fingerprinting, and much more - birth families do not receive payment for choosing to place a child with an adoptive family. With this said, adoptions can cost anywhere between $20,000 & $40,000. While some adoptive couples have the resources, others rely on the help of friends and family through fundraising!

We want to invite you into our journey and be part of the community who surrounds our child as he grows up!

Our Story:

From our days of dating, we spoke of wanting to adopt someday as we continued life together. We had originally pursued this route to first become parents in 2019, but had a little surprise positive pregnancy test after our home study and had to put our adoption on hold. Now being married for 6+ years and Brynlee entering toddlerhood, we believe this is the route God would grow our family. We want to adopt because we love kids and we love to trust God for big things! 

God's heart is adoption as we are adopted as His children through Jesus Christ! We know this journey can be long and difficult but together we will trust that God has given us everything we need through Himself and the community around us. 

Our Method:

We have a 1000 piece puzzle that we are asking for you to help put together! Each piece is $20. We are asking that you would purchase as many pieces as you feel called to help us make this adoption a reality! As pieces are purchased, we will write your name on the back of a puzzle piece. Once the puzzle is complete, we will put it in a double-sided glass frame and hang it in our child's room! This will be such a cool way to see all of you who were part of this journey.

It takes a community and we need you!
We thank you for your support & prayers!
Trusting Him: Barry, Megan + Brynlee
