When I asked Tanner and Stephanie if I could make this fundraiser for them, they immediately said no. They hate asking for help for any reason! However, I insisted knowing how much any amount will help them and the journey they are starting now.  

For Stephanie, the path to motherhood as far as pregnancy and delivery has been anything but easy. After the birth of Lyla, Stephanie was in and out of the hospital several times with high fevers and an infection on her uterus that went undiagnosed for weeks. After the birth of Savannah, Stephanie ended up in the ICU with bleeding complications that resulted in emergency surgery and a blood transfusion. She has since been diagnosed with Lupus so all of these factors combined and her doctor said Stephanie should not carry another baby. 

Aside from the medical complications, even prior to ever having a child, Tanner and Stephanie have both expressed a desire to one day adopt. They are at a point in their lives now where they are ready to take this next step and grow their family. However, adoption costs are extremely expensive (around $60,000) so helping them in any way will be such a blessing!

We all understand the last year has been so tough on everyone and you may not be able to contribute financially, but equally as helpful and appreciated would be your prayers! Pray for them that they can navigate this process, for all parties involved, and that their new baby will be in their arms soon!! 

I will update this page as they go through the process!
