Zach and I have been married for right at 8 years and adoption has been on our hearts since our second date. We never knew exactly when the time would come, but after seven years of infertility, countless treatments, surgeries, and three heartbreaking miscarriages, we felt a clear calling to pursue adoption now. Last December, we began the process, and by February 2025, we were home study approved. Just recently, in December 2025, we matched with a birth mother, and our baby is due to arrive any day.

The journey to grow our family has been filled with both hope and heartache, but we are so grateful for the path that has led us here. Adoption comes with significant expenses, including legal, agency, and attorney fees, as well as support for the birth mother. We will also be traveling out of state and expect to stay there for several weeks, adding to the costs. Every dollar raised will go directly toward the loan we have taken out to bring our child home and start this new chapter as a family.

Asking for help is outside of our comfort zone, but we know that having the support of our community is a powerful part of our family’s testimony. We are deeply thankful for every donation, every prayer, and every kind word. Words cannot express how much it means to us to have a village coming together to help. More than anything, we ask for your prayers for everyone involved. We trust that God can take something that begins with loss and turn it into a beautiful story filled with hope, peace, and tremendous joy.
