<div>We are Kerney and Brittany. We are proud parents to our daughter, Nora, who is four.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When Nora was born, Brittany had a perfectly normal and textbook pregnancy until the day of her delivery. In a sudden and terrifying turn, Brittany began to hemorrhage. She was rushed to the OR and then admitted to the ICU, while newborn Nora, who had swallowed blood and struggled to breathe, was admitted to the NICU. It was a deeply scary time—but by God’s grace, we went home as a family of three almost a week later.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2024, God began to lay it on both of our hearts—separately—that we were ready to grow our family. We had been scared to try for a long time given what happened with Nora’s birth, but felt God’s hand over us as we both felt so aligned in our path forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Miscarriages followed. We lost twins at 7 weeks, which led to 4 surgeries for Brittany as we discovered she had scar tissue in her uterus from Nora’s traumatic birth.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In January 2025, we began praying about a different path forward: adoption. We met with an agency and felt excited to move forward—when we discovered we were pregnant again in March. We put our adoption plans on hold, but saved every file, every note, knowing it was a path we still felt called to someday.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To our great surprise and joy, the pregnancy progressed normally. We alerted our prayer warriors early on, and we covered the pregnancy in prayer. We fasted before every ultrasound, prayed together every night, and asked for God’s hand of protection over this baby and pregnancy. We took a leap of faith and told Nora that she was going to be a big sister.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When Brittany was a little over 19 weeks pregnant, we were eagerly preparing our lives for the hopeful arrival of a new member of our family. Our anatomy scan was in a matter of days, and we were excited to finally find out the gender of our baby. That week, the unthinkable happened. Out of nowhere, with no warning and no explanation, Brittany’s water broke. We raced to the hospital and were told by every doctor we spoke to at the hospital that there was no way that this baby would live and were encouraged to terminate the pregnancy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Still, the baby had a heartbeat and Brittany could feel movement. We knew we could not end this life and prayed desperately for a miracle, that God would sustain the pregnancy long enough for Brittany to reach viability at 22/23 weeks, so that doctors would be able to intervene and try to save the baby.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Four days later, Brittany became septic from infection, and our hand was forced. Brittany suddenly spiked a 105+ degree fever and our medical team moved quickly. We chose to deliver via classical c-section as placenta previa prevented traditional delivery. Our team feared for Brittany’s life. But she survived. And that, we believe, was God’s miracle—sustaining Brittany’s life so that Nora could continue to have her mother.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hannah Hope Craft was born sleeping on August 4, 2025 at 5:06pm at 20 weeks gestation. It was a girl. Because we had chosen this path over termination, we had the immense blessing of getting to hold and honor our beautiful girl. We had chosen Hannah as our girl name because it means “grace” or “favor” and we had prayed so hard for this child. We had felt so much peace throughout the pregnancy and felt God’s hand over it in so many little ways. We never dreamed it would end in this way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We were advised by doctors that Brittany would not be able to safely carry another pregnancy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hannah will forever be a part of our family. We told Nora that she was still a big sister and her little sister is waiting for all of us in heaven. We long for the day we’ll all be reunited.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But here on earth, our hearts still yearn to grow our family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And so, we’ve returned to the path we believe God placed on our hearts long ago: adoption.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe there is a child out there who needs our family just as much as we need them. Adoption is not a second choice for us, but a beautiful and powerful way to grow a family—one we feel deeply honored to pursue.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re calling our fundraiser Hannah’s Hope. In the Bible, Hannah prayed to God for a child, and He heard her prayer and answered. Like her, we hold onto hope as we pray to grow our family. This name also honors our daughter’s legacy, keeping her memory woven into this next chapter of our story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Adoption is a significant financial commitment, and we want to be transparent about the journey ahead. In the months ahead, we’ll be taking time to heal while also beginning the fundraising needed for our adoption journey. We’re looking forward to sharing some fun fundraising activities soon.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our estimated expenses are:
</div>
<div>* $4,500 – consultant fees
</div>
<div>* $2,000 – home study
</div>
<div>* $750 – profile book creation
</div>
<div>* $3,000–$6,000 – agency fees
</div>
<div>* Up to $55,000 – placement fees, legal costs, and associated expenses after a match
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you feel led to give, all funds will go directly toward the expenses of our adoption journey. Every dollar helps bring us closer to holding our next child in our arms.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading our story, for praying with us, and for walking beside us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and hope,
</div>
<div>Kerney, Brittany, and Nora
</div>
