For years, our family has watched Michael and Stephanie pour their hearts into the dream of becoming parents. Through every step of their journey, they’ve shown incredible strength, love, and hope. Even in the face of challenges that no one ever expects or deserves to endure.

After years of trying to grow their family, they’ve made the beautiful decision to pursue adoption. It’s a path filled with love and promise, but also one that comes with significant financial hurdles.

We’re coming together as a family to help support them in bringing their future child home. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps move them one step closer to the family they’ve dreamed of for so long. Thank you for being part of their story and helping turn hope into reality.

A note from the parents to be:

Over the past seven years we have been trying to grow our family. What started as hope and excitement slowly became a journey of patience, growth and difficult decisions. During this time, we have remained hopeful and committed to finding our purpose through it all.

After seven years of trying to grow our family, our journey has led us to adoption—a path that has always been on our hearts and has grown into a deeper calling to welcome a child into our hearts and home.

Over the past several years, we have made many emotional, physical, and financial investments to try and grow our family. This journey has come with significant financial impact, and as we now pursue adoption, we are asking for support.

As we step forward, we are asking for help in making this possible. Adoption is a beautiful path, but also a significant financial commitment with our expenses projected to be from $50,000–$85,000 when including home study fees, agency fees, legal expenses, birth mother expenses, and many other related services. Any support, whether through giving or sharing, helps bring us closer to the moment we’ve been waiting for, becoming parents.

Now that we are ready to move forward, we can’t do it alone. If you feel led to support or share our journey, it would mean more than we can express as we take this step toward becoming parents. Our ask is not only for financial support, but also for prayers, encouragement, and connection as we move forward.

Thank you for being apart of this journey.
