Buhring Baby -- Help us Adopt!
Donativo protegido
Hello friends! As you probably know, we are Beau and Keri Buhring -- your fun-loving couple next door. Beau and I met early in high school, started dating on my 17th birthday, and married on January 4, 2013. A few months later, we were ready to grow our family!
Months rolled by with no baby. A full year passed. It is hard to describe the disappointment and emotional anguish we experienced at that time. Beau suggested that we seek medical help, but I hesitated because I was so afraid. I was afraid of the possibility of infertility and that God's answer to our plea for children was NO.
Eventually, though, we couldn't avoid it anymore. We connected with a doctor versed in NFP and Naprotechnology in Covington. During these past three years, I have undergone many exams, treatments, and even surgeries. It was a rough emotional and spiritual struggle, but through it Beau and I have grown together in love for each other and in love for the Lord.
Recently, we have learned that it is not possible for us to grow our family through natural means. This news, which would have devastated me in the beginning of our journey, did not feel like God's resounding NO. It felt like He was turning a page in a chapter of our lives. Not a NO, but an invitation for something different. Despite our grief, we looked around for new opportunities that God laid out for us.
Throughout the process, we frequently thought about adoption, but now we thought more seriously of the possibility. Are we suited to adoption? Could we love an adopted child as our own? As we prayed and discussed it with our families, it became very clear that the answer is YES.
So, this brings us to the present day. We need your help! We wish to adopt a baby domestically, which is a very expensive endeavor. We are just in the beginning of the adoption process, so any funds will help us with the home study, paying agency and legal fees, and the medical bills of the mother (once she is found).
We thank you profoundly for any contributions, no matter the amount. We will pray for all donors individually with gratitude beyond words. Most of all, please pray for us and our family!
