Help Support Our Adoption Journey

Hello! We are the Hattery family—Tara, Matt, and our wonderful son Ollie, who is five. Our greatest wish is to grow our family through adoption. We are currently working with AIS, hoping to connect with a birth mom and bring home another sweet little one.

Matt and I have been married for 16 years, and our journey to parenthood has been filled with both joy and heartache. After experiencing several miscarriages and navigating infertility challenges, we chose to open our hearts to adoption. In 2019, we were blessed to be matched with a birth mom, which led to the joyful arrival of our son. In 2020, we embarked on an IVF journey, but after four years of treatments without success, we are once again turning to adoption to expand our family.

We understand that adoption is a beautiful but unpredictable path. The financial commitment is significant, with costs starting around $45,000 and potentially rising due to legal fees, agency charges, and support for the birth mom. There are also travel expenses to consider when finalizing the adoption, and the reality that matches can sometimes fall through weighs heavily on our hearts. Despite these challenges, the opportunity to welcome another child into our family is worth every penny and every risk involved.

For us, family is defined not by genetics, but by the love and connections we share. Adoption is a true blessing, and we are thrilled to open our hearts and home to a new little one. We are incredibly grateful for any support you can offer, no matter how big or small. Thank you for being part of our adoption journey!
