About this Fundraiser
MEET CHRIS AND JESSICA We have been married for 10 years and are eager to grow our family through adoption. Growing our family in this way is an extension of what we have sought to do since the start of our marriage - use what we have been given to love and serve God, others, and our community. We are fortunate to have an amazing, diverse community of people supporting us and we cannot wait for you to meet Baby Z!
WHY ADOPTION? Adoption has long been on our hearts. While we have many reasons for choosing adoption, the simplest reason is that we believe it is what we have been called to do. We want to mirror what God has done for us in seeking us out and adopting us as His own. We are eager to offer the same to a child by bringing them into our family as our own.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
- DONATE Our total costs will be between around $50,000 to $55,000 (including home study, agency fees, birth mom expenses, legal fees, travel and more). While we have and will continue to save, YOU can be a huge help in our journey by providing a financial gift to alleviate some of these costs
-
PRAY Please pray as we navigate this process that we may show the love and grace to the birth mom/birth parents. Pray for the decisions we make as we review each birth mom situation. Pray for the birth parents who are making an extremely difficult and courageous decision.
-
SHARE As you share our story with others, they may want to get involved by donating too. Plus, we hope that our story can help educate others on adoption and the great need both domestically and internationally.
