Help Mary and Peter Adopt
Donation protected
Peter and I met through my brother-in-law, who also happened to be Peter's former roommate in college. In December, 2014, Peter asked me on a date and took me dancing. We have been dancing through life together every since. Our courtship was quick and we were married a year and a half later in July, 2016.
The desire to be parents has been on our hearts since we were married. Unfortunately, due to medical issues, we have not been able to conceive any children of our own. After 7 years of praying, discerning, growing, and medical intervention, we have decided to adopt. We trust that God will bless us with a child through adoption.
While there are multiple ways to adopt, we felt that a domestic adoption was right for us at this time. Unfortunately, adoption is very expensive. The average domestic infant adoption is around $35,000. While we have the means to financially support and care for our child once they're here, the reality is there is a substantial amount of money needed up front to bring our child home. We would love and appreciate your support of our family in any way you are able, whether that is through prayer or financial help. Whether you feel led to donate, pray for us, or send words of encouragement, it would mean the world to us. We are able to receive donations here or by checks.
