Our Dear Friends,

Since 2018, we have been honored to serve as a foster family, walking alongside children and their families in hopes of successful reunification. Seeing families heal and come back together has been our greatest joy, and through this journey, we have gained some of the sweetest friendships.

But sometimes, despite every effort, reunification isn’t possible. When that heartbreaking reality sets in, these children are left longing for stability, permanency, and the safety of a forever home. Right now, over 2,000 children in Utah are waiting—each with a story, each with a hope for a family that will cherish them.

For the past 10 months, we have been lovingly raising three siblings whose journey has taken an unexpected turn toward adoption. While we are overjoyed at the opportunity to embrace them as our own, we are also heartbroken by the circumstances that have made this necessary. Love brought us here, and love will guide us forward—but we can’t do it alone.

Adoption comes with many needs, and one of the greatest hurdles we currently face is financial. The required legal fees—lawyer costs, court filings, and administrative expenses—must be paid upfront before a partial reimbursement is provided by the state. After adoption, all reimbursements previously given for children in foster care ends.

We humbly ask you to come alongside us, to give from your hearts, and to help us provide these children with the forever family they deserve. Our goal is to raise enough to cover all immediate adoption expenses, and any reimbursed funds will be used to pay off our van—the vehicle that makes it possible for us to ride together as a family. Any additional funds collected will go directly to the continued care and support of these wonderful children.

Your generosity means everything. Whether through a donation or simply sharing our story, you are helping us write the next chapter—a chapter filled with love, healing, and home.

With gratitude and love,

the Barlows
