We are Christopher and Rachel Kosmopolis. We’ve been married since 2014, sharing more than ten years of love, adventure, and growth together. Our journey has taken us across four states and even to another country, always exploring new cities, zoos, museums, and the hidden gems that make each place special. Our refrigerator is nearly covered in magnets from the places we’ve visited, each one a memory of our travels. But there’s one thing missing from our story: a little one to share our adventures with.

For the past seven years, we have poured our hearts, hope, and resources into growing our family. We’ve tried medicated cycles, IUIs, five rounds of IVF, and consulted with three different specialists. Through it all, we learned that the path we were on wasn’t the one meant for us. After many heartfelt conversations, we began researching adoption, and it quickly became clear that this was the journey we were meant to take. Now, we feel a deep sense of peace, clarity, and excitement knowing this is how we will meet our child.

The cost of adoption is significant, and we have been saving diligently, but we can’t do it alone. This is why we’re reaching out, humbly and with gratitude, to ask for your help. The estimated cost of adoption; including our agency fees, legal requirements, home study expenses, and travel, comes to about $50,000. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us cover a piece of this journey and brings us one step closer to welcoming our future child.

Whether you are able to donate, share our story, or simply send your love and support, you are helping us take a step closer to welcoming a child into our lives, a child whose first magnet on our refrigerator will carry more meaning than all the others combined. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our family before we’ve even had the chance to meet the newest member. Your kindness brings us hope, and we are endlessly grateful.
