We are beyond blessed and excited to finally, FORMALLY, announce that we are in the adoption process!
When we lost our beautiful daughter Aria in March of 2020, we spent a lot of time praying and petitioning the Lord for answers regarding our next steps as a family. Although we did not know how the Lord would lead us, we felt confident that we are not finished being parents. Plus, Aria was constantly asking to be a big sister!
We began the process in late spring 2021, but the Lord led us to our home here in Indiana, which forced us to briefly press pause as we purchased a home, got moved and settled, and updated our homestudy. We are extremely blessed to be working with TWO wonderful adoption agencies, one here in Indiana, and one in Florida. Additionally, we are exploring adopting through the foster system as well. All that to say, our family could be expanding quite a bit in the coming months!
If you would like more information or if you'd like to share our adoption profile, here's the link to the webpage we have built (and will continue to update) so that potential birth families can get to know us a little bit: https://parentfinder.com/view-our-families/#/profile/60d9d1ddbf379c617504eca7
As part of our adoption process, we have decided to start a crowdfunding campaign. It may surprise you to hear that adoption related costs can easily total up to $35,000 or more. This is why we have set a goal of $25,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive families.
We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our family as we grow!
