Bringing Hope: Sara and Rob's Adoption

I have known Sara since we were in Jr. High, and she has been in my life ever since. I love her like a sister, and IYKYK - to know her is to love her!

Some of you may be aware, and some of you may not - Sara, and her husband Rob, have been on a very long journey to have a baby. This long journey is hopefully coming to an end soon, with the exciting reality of adoption. While this is the most exciting time in their lives, it has also been humbling for them from a financial standpoint. Sara and Rob are not the type to ask for money, and they are not asking. As her friend, I am asking because they deserve this. Between IVF, doctor bills piling up, and now going through the adoption process, they are truly in need of any help you can find it in your heart to give. The adoption could end up costing them $50,000.

My hope for Rob and Sara is for them to accept the donations of their family and friends with open arms, to see it as a gift from God and all the people they have touched and given their lives to along the way.

Sara has been an incredible teammate, coach, mentor, coworker, friend, wife, sister and daughter. All she wants in this life, all that she wants in return... is to be a mom.

If Sara or Rob has touched your life in one way or another, I encourage you to donate any amount at all. Nothing is too small. Let's pray this little one can come into their lives without their parents having an incredible amount of debt from the start.

In an adoption book Sara and Rob put together - this was a letter they included I would like to share with you all:

----------

We admire your courage and your strength. We have been praying daily and waiting patiently to have a child of our own, and through those struggles, a light shines bright in you, a possible answer to our prayers. Adoption can be a beautiful thing, and our promise is to ensure that your child will always know the love you have for them.

We are very excited and forever grateful to be adopting, and to be growing our family. You are allowing us the opportunity to love a child as Rob’s adopted parents did for him. You are providing Sara with the opportunity of motherhood, that without you, would not be possible. We admire your bravey, and we hope that through our story you see what’s over the horizon; smiles, laughter, fun - a life for your child that will be full of love and unwavering support. Our hope is that you will see not only your child, but also yourself as a part of that. We promise you that taking this step with us will be a leap towards achieving possibility in the impossible, and transforming all of our

hearts forever.

Love,

Sara & Rob
