Hi! We are Katie and Joe Traver. Welcome to our GoFundMe page for our Adoption!

ABOUT US:

We were married in 2021, just as Joe was preparing to begin medical school. Not long after, we decided to grow our family. Our path quickly became more complicated than we expected as Katie was diagnosed with several conditions that made it difficult to begin a family naturally, including PCOS, endometriosis, and hypothyroidism.

After years of doctor’s visits, medications, medical procedures, and countless prayers, we made the difficult decision to pause our efforts to grow our family naturally. After Joe’s med school graduation, we found ourselves in a quiet place of surrender. This is where we began to feel the Holy Spirit gently and consistently guiding our hearts toward adoption.

Through much prayer and discernment, we’ve come to embrace this call with open hearts, inspired by the Holy Family’s own witness of adoption. This journey is deeply beautiful, but it also comes with many challenges. That’s why we’re reaching out—we need your support to make our vocation to adopt a reality.
