Matthew and Bethany's Adoption Campaign

For the last 3 years, we have been trying to start a family but have been unsuccessful. We have gone through multiple tests and infertility treatments, and have exhausted much of our savings. It has been a painful and difficult road to walk, filled with a lot of disappointment and tears. However, we have not given up hope and believe that God has a plan for our family. With a 3% chance of having children naturally, and the reality that our options are limited, we have decided to pursue adoption. We prayed about the next step and asked God to open up the right door for us, and He has.

We are excited to announce that our journey has led us to Christian Family Services, an established private adoption agency in the Gainesville, FL area. We have the opportunity to adopt a newborn domestically, and to one day start making memories we have only imagined. Adoption is not only a long and intensive process, but an expensive one. Though we have some savings left after our infertility treatments, it is not enough, especially considering the possible loss of salary if we become a one-income family once the baby is born. 

This is why we are asking for our family and friends to help. Some of you have expressed interest in contributing to our adoption funds, so we have created this page where you can donate. The funds raised will go toward social service and placement fees, document processing, required trainings and travel, legal expenses, and adoption finalization.

We hope that you will consider giving to our cause and keeping us in your prayers! Each and every gift means so much to us, and we cannot wait to share our happy news (and lots of pictures) once we bring home our baby!

With love,
Matthew & Bethany
