Help Manuela and Shane Grow Their Family Through Adoption

Since December 2018, Manuela and Shane have shared a deep and loving partnership. After getting married in February 2021, they dreamed of growing their family—and from the very beginning, they felt a strong calling toward adoption.

In September 2023, they officially began the adoption process, hoping to welcome not just one, but two children into their hearts and home. This journey has been one of dedication and perseverance. They’ve poured themselves into completing educational requirements, preparing their home, and navigating the emotional and logistical challenges of adoption.

Manuela and Shane are hoping to adopt from Colombia, a country that holds deep meaning for them. They are passionate about keeping their future children connected to their cultural roots and heritage, and are committed to providing a loving, nurturing home where their children can grow with a strong sense of identity and belonging.

Adoption is a beautiful journey, but it is also long, emotionally demanding, and financially challenging. Manuela and Shane have already invested significant time and resources, and now they are turning to their community—friends, family, and anyone who feels moved to help—for support.

Whether through prayer, words of encouragement, or financial contributions, any form of support is deeply appreciated. There is no pressure to give, but if you are able, it would mean the world to them.

Thank you for standing with Manuela and Shane as they follow this path to grow their family with love.
