Help the Laws Adopt
Donation protected
We have been trying to expand our family for the last five (going on six) years in every way we can. Shortly after we were married, we got on an adoption waiting list with the state of Georgia and concurrently started several different fertility treatments.
Long story short? We got nowhere. We spent all our money on things that didn't work, and now, we're looking at doing a private adoption instead. Of course, this means we need help paying for all of the legal fees (we're estimating $10K for that, based on our friends who have also adopted), birth mother expenses (we're estimating $20K but it could be more if there are complications!), medical expenses of the birth, travel expenses, more legal fees... Adoption is expensive, y'all. And anything over and above what we need for adoption is going toward either clothes, toys... or the next adoption. (We don't want him/her to be an only child!) We're not sure how quickly we'll be able to find a birth mother, but we're hoping that by the end of the year (if not sooner), we'll find a match for our family... and we need your help to pay the lawyers and doctors and everyone else to make that happen! We've been praying every day for YEARS to become parents, so any little bit you can give that would help us reach our dream? I can't tell you what that would mean to us. Seriously.
