David and Amy Adoption Fund
Donation protected
For three years we have struggled with infertitlity, miscarriages, hope, and disappointment. After our last round of fertility treatment proved unsuccessful yet again, we decided it was time to try something else.
Before we even began trying to get pregnant, we had discussed adopting. We always knew that adoption lay in our future, but biology has sped up our timing.
For months we have been researching and discussing all the decisions that come with adoption. Now that we have settled in Cleveland, we feel it is time to really put our energy into actively finding our children.
We have found an agency that we like and trust that works in Uganda. A beautiful country that we will happily return to for heritage trips.We are working with a local social worker who is conducting our homestudy, and generally advising us through this process.
And now we are launching a fundraising campaign.
Adoption can be very expensive. And while we are actively seeking grants and other financial assistance, we also know that we are blessed to have so many people in our lives that love and support us.
So today, we ask you to help in any (or all) of the following ways:
1) Pray for us.
This will be a long and arduous process, following years of disappointment. In many ways, we have forgotten how to hope. Please consider offering emotional and/or spiritual support in whatever way you feel you can. If you are someone who prays, please pray for patience and guidance and grace on this journey.
2) Donate.
Bringing home our children will not be cheap, and every little bit will help. Please consider donating whatever amount you can to help us find our children. You can send us a check or donate directly through this GoFundMe page.
3) Follow our story.
We have set up a blog to share our adoption story with friends and family. We will periodically update the site as we move forward througout the adoption process. Please consider following our blog at davidandamyadoption.wordpress.com.
4) Spread the word.
Support can come from far and wide. Even small support from distanced friends and even strangers can be a blessing. Please consider sending this page to your network.
