Jacob & Ryan's Family Adoption Fund
Donation protected
Hello and Welcome. We are grateful you're here.
As you may know, we're soon to be married and are purchasing our perfect family home. We are very excited to start this next chapter in our lives by building our family. With the current highly competitive real estate market in Arizona, the purchase of our home has consumed our savings, part of which was to fund our adoptions.
Frankly, we feel we have enough ‘things & stuff’ in our lives to be fulfilled and provide for our family’s needs. We are very grateful to be in this position of abundance. We would rather not upgrade or add to our already abundant lifestyle. Instead, we welcome those that would like to give to contribute to our future adoption to enable the creation of our family.
As a same-sex couple, having kids is far more costly and requires much more focus and determination. It is not something that can just happen. Adoptions are expensive and we are determined at achieving this goal. No matter how long it takes, building our family is our top priority.
After extensive research, we have determined that an agency-supported adoption is the best path for us. We looked deeply into the fostering path and decided the potential risks and pitfalls were too great of a concern for us. Although an agency adoption comes at a greater cost, it will allow us to secure and create our family much sooner and easier. The fostering process can take many years and has the potential for the child separating after a significant bond has developed and much time has elapsed. They can sometimes get ugly in court. Either path allow us to give a child in need the beautiful family the deserve.
Surrogacy comes with the highest costs and we know there are already many children that are in need a loving and safe family without the need to bring another new person into this world.
We hope you share our desire to not only build our family but build our families family and community with more grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and kids. We would love to have a family of two to three (or more) kids! It is with that we are asking anyone who wishes to give a gift to contribute to our family adoption fund.
From the bottom of our hearts, we are truly grateful for any and all support of our adoption journey. This is undoubtedly going to be the most important goal we will achieve and thank you so much for your help.
Our future children will surely thank you as well.
Yes, they will send you refrigerator art! <3
