Koedam Adoption Fund
Donation protected
Here’s the short version of Austin and Erica’s story:
After battling infertility, the Koedams felt a nudge in their hearts to grow their family
another way: through adoption.
So far on their journey, they have received amazing support from family members, friends, and the general community. This support has come both in the forms of monetary
donations and prayer, and the Koedams have expressed their extreme gratitude for this
support to us multiple times.
Unfortunately, Austin and Erica’s adoption journey has not gone as planned. After
two failed matches and more emotional ups and downs than we can count, the Koedams
are very much “in the hole” despite all of the funding they have already received.
As their friends, we wanted to set up this GoFundMe account in an attempt to support
them a bit more. We understand that this goal amount seems astronomical, but please
understand that this number won’t even cover what they will actually need! If you are
willing and able, please consider giving to our dear friends, even if it is just a small amount. Every little bit truly helps.
We want to say “THANK YOU” to everyone that has already supported the Koedams thus
far. If you are unable to give, please support them through prayer and by sharing their
story. We are excited to announce that Austin and Erica are matched again, and Lord
willing, their baby will be born via C-section on June 17!
Please pray for a healthy baby girl, the birth mother, safe travels to Utah, and a successful match. Thank you!
