Help us Make Our Family Complete

Hello Family & Friends,

As many of you know, Jaxson came into our lives just shy of one month old. He needed a safe home and loving caregivers—and without hesitation, we opened our hearts and our home to him.

Over time, it’s become clear that Jaxson will need a permanent, stable, and forever home. We truly couldn’t imagine our lives without him. He is our son in every way that matters, and we are soon to be beginning the legal process of making that official through adoption.

We’ve recently met with a lawyer we trust—someone who will help us navigate this process with compassion and care, and ensure everything is done with Jaxson & our family’s best interests at heart. Unfortunately, the legal fees for adoption are significant, and we’ve reached a point where we can no longer shoulder the financial burden on our own.

When Jaxson came to us unexpectedly, I was forced to take time off work to care for him full-time. I ended up being off for almost nine months. During that time, we were raising Jaxson, covering all his needs—from day-to-day essentials to preparing our home for him—on Brad’s income, some supports from family when they were able to help and the limited support I received through EI. We received no government funding during that critical period, and any savings we had were quickly depleted.

To make space for Jaxson, we also had to renovate our home so our eldest son, Turner, could have his own room in the basement.

All of this came just months after purchasing our first house—adding to the financial strain we’ve been working hard to manage.

We don’t qualify for legal aid, and despite Brad taking on as many jobs as he can and me returning to full-time work this past September, we simply can’t do this alone anymore. Asking for help is not easy for us, but it’s a step we’re taking with humility and hope.

Every donation—no matter the size—will go directly toward the legal fees required to finalize Jaxson’s adoption. Your support will help us secure the safe, loving, and permanent home Jaxson so deeply deserves.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing beside us on this journey always.

With love and gratitude,

Ashley, Brad, Turner, Chase & Jaxson
