HI! WE'RE THE PETTIS'

We're the Pettis Family, currently a family of 4, and we are adopting a kiddo from Burundi, Africa!

International adoption has come up in conversation since we were dating. Both of us knew we wanted to adopt internationally one day. We have both traveled and done missions work in several countries, and looking back at our lives and time spend in East Africa, it is no surprise to us that God would now be leading us to adopt from Burundi. We love East Africa, the people, the culture, the beauty of it. We are overjoyed, to say the least, that we will once again have out feet in East Africa and, God willing, be bringing their beautiful culture into our family in a permanent way! We welcome you to read more about our adoption story in our blog, and follow along as we continue this journey...

ADOPTION COSTS:

Our estimated cost for adopting one child from Burundi is $43,000.

Our plan for financing this adoption is to pay as much as we can of this amount from our own money, apply for adoption grants, and trust God to provide the rest.

All donations are tax deductible through Adopt Together/Pure Charity.  You will get a receipt immediately if you donate using a credit card. If you donate $250 or more by check, they will send you a receipt at the end of the year. You can also email them and ask for receipt as well.
