Baby for Becca & Bo

Donation protected

Hi Friends & Family:

I've never made a gofundme account before.  I've given to them though. 

I'm doing this for our amazing daughter, Becca & son-in-law Bo Helsel.  

They are one of THE most godliest & selfLess couples I know.  They love & serve the Lord with their whole being.  They are faithful & love life.  I call them "the newlyweds" still because they sacrifice for each other & are so in love!  They are both school teachers & as we all know, school teachers don't get paid nearly enough for all they do for the future children of our world. 

So, I'm starting this gofundme account to help them become parents.   Bo & Becca have been trying without success to have a baby.  They would be such loving, gentle & kind parents.  However, after almost 5 years of struggling with infertility, they have decided to pursue adoption.   Many of you probably know how expensive that is - even
with the great stewardship of their money, they've saved over the past 6 1/2 years.   I KNOW without a doubt they will continue to use their money wisely.   

They found an adoption agency &  they accepted them right away into their program.  (They have over 800 want to be parents apply every MONTH.)   Yesterday they turned in all the information about themselves & the asked for 75 pictures.  They told Bo & Becca it'd take 10 days to get it all in the system & they had it all done TODAY!!  We feel God is moving & answering prayers already!  We are so happy this has happened.   However, they need to pay $18,000 for this to even get started. They will also have home studies, legal fees, court fees, birthmother expenses, travel fees, and any other unexpected expenses to follow.  

Their original plan, before even knowing of any infertility issues, was always to have 2 biological children & then adopt one. However, with recent events and ongoing struggles they feel at peace and a calling to adopt now. Maybe it’s always been God's plan to adopt first instead. They are leaving it all in God's hands.  He has the way better plan than any of us.

Of course Bo & Becca's family already are planning to help them out but we wanted to let our family & friends know of this need.  It's very  humbling to come & ask for help.  It's very out of Becca's comfort zone for me to start this for them & let everyone know the struggles, frustrations, heartaches & tears they've had for the last 5 years.  We know that through prayer & your giving, this will happen.  I KNOW for a fact that Bo & Becca will be wonderful parents.  They are so great with children, they have so much more love to give a child(ren) of their own.  They have a home & will welcome any baby into their loving & caring  family.  Their child(ren)  will be greatly blessed & be a blessing to all of us.  I know they will train & teach their child(ren) about Jesus.

Proverbs 22:6   Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.  They will do this! 

Would you pray about helping them out?  Will you please keep Bo & Becca in your prayers.  They have been through a lot but continue to trust God & His perfect plan & timing.  

Thank you so much!  We are forever grateful.
