Help us have our little peanut!

Our goal has changed! We are now going to try artificial insemination, since adoption is cost prohibitive in Colorado (for newborns). We will be adopting from the public system, but that will be older kids, and we so badly want a baby.


Our new costs are approximately $1000 per attempt. We have raised funds for our first attempt!


Below is our original story.


After 12 years together we were given the opportunity to adopt through a family friend. We prepared for the baby, paid for a lawyer and were in the middle of the steps required to legally adopt when the birth mother changed her mind.


The thing is, we know our baby is still out there, waiting for us. We won't give up in finding them. However, with the less obvious path to adoption, our costs have increased. While Jackie has a good job, we need a little help covering the added expenses. That's where you come in.


The original adoption was considered a family adoption which allowed us to skip the 6 month waiting period normally part of adoptions in Texas. That allowed us to complete the adoption before moving to Colorado. Now we'll likely have to complete the adoption from out of state, increasing the legal fees as well as travel to and from Colorado until the adoption is final.


My wife and I have always been the people who give to others. To ask for assistance is a new experience for us. But we know, without a doubt, that we will find our child. Having the funding allows us to find them sooner rather than later. Will you help us find our little peanut?


Known costs (updated as things fall into place)
$2,000 - Remaining base fees for the lawyer. There is the potential for additional fees if the adoption has complications.
