Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

We are reaching out with full hearts and humble spirits to ask for your support in helping us adopt our beloved grandson, Kobe. For nearly a year now, Kobe has been living with us, filling our home with laughter, joy, and a love that words can hardly describe. From the moment he came into our care, our lives changed in the most beautiful way—and we knew in our hearts that this was meant to be.

Our journey with Kobe has been one of love, resilience, and deep commitment. We’ve been doing everything we can to provide him with the safety, stability, and nurturing environment every child deserves. Now, we are ready to take the next step: making him a permanent part of our home through adoption.

Adoption is not only an emotional commitment—it also comes with legal and financial challenges. The process includes attorney fees, home studies, court costs, and other unexpected expenses. We’re determined to give Kobe the secure and loving future he deserves, but we can’t do it alone.

If you feel moved to support us in this journey of love, any contribution—big or small—would mean the world to us. Even if you're unable to give financially, your prayers, kind words, and sharing our story can make a powerful difference.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us as we take this step to give Kobe the forever home he already has in our hearts.

With love and gratitude,

Jake and Melissa Eckert
