Adams Adoption in Burundi, Africa

Donation protected

This is us.
My name is Jeremy. I'm the dad.
My wife is Jennifer. She's the mom.


We have 6 amazing kids. Sebastian, Brady, Aeriah, Jenna, Teagan, and Kaden. 2 married, 1 college graduate, 1 in college, and 2 at home. Plus 3 beautiful granddaughters and 1 grandson.  
What are we fundraising for?
We are adopting a child from Burundi, Africa.

Was I Love?

Three words that we live by. Was I love? When I meet someone for the first time. Was I love? When we see someone in need. Was I love? When out in the community. Was I love? 

We believe we should share the love of Jesus in every moment of every day. This is the primary reason we have decided to adopt. It is such a pure expression of love. From the beginning God already chose these three kids to welcome into our hearts and our home. 

We have always known we would/should adopt.

We are addicted to kids. We have known from the beginning of our marriage that we would adopt. 

Speed bump
A couple years ago we decided to adopt from Ethiopia. I was volunteering with a few different organizations there and fell in love with the people and the culture. 
We had just started our home study when Jennifer was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. We got scared and just stopped. We didn't know what to expect. Turns out, with medication, we've got a handle on this thing. So, after a couple years to get over the initial shock, we are ready to begin our adoption journey again. Currently, it can take many years to adopt form Ethiopia and it gets longer every year. This is one of the reasons for the focus on Burundi. 

Why Burundi.
Less than one-third of Burundi’s population has enough food to eat throughout the year. As a result, nearly 60% of Burundi’s population is chronically malnourished.

Burundi is one of the poorest countries in the world. Poverty is widespread: 90–95 percent of the population living on less than $2 per day.

The country has been ravished by disease and a 12-year-long civil war leaving more than 680,000 children orphaned.


What it will mean to us...
Our adoption cost are paid in full and all that is left to raise is travel to get our kids. We are hoping to raise around $15,000 from friends, family, and other awesome people. If you can only donate $1, that gets us $1 closer to our goal. If you can't, please share our campaign with a few of your friends.

Thank you for visiting our page. I hope you will consider donating to our campaign and be confident your investment will directly impact a child in need.

Isaiah 1:17 (NIV)
Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.
