Kyler and Elaine have felt the desire to adopt ever since they were dating. Recently, they felt God opening the door and are stepping forward in faith to welcome a sweet newborn into their family. Flourish Adoption Ministries is a faith-based adoption agency out of South Carolina that is dedicated to supporting birth mothers, expectant mothers, and adoptive families through every step of the adoption process. You can find more about their ministry at flourishadoptions.com.

Kyler and Elaine are working on completing their home study and plan to be on the wait list in the next couple of months. Once on the wait list, they could be selected by a a birth mom right away, or it could take some time.

Though it could be some time before they are selected, Kyler's will continue to have several up-front costs throughout the process. Along with continuing adoption expenses, they could incur costs with the birth mom and will also travel to meet the mother and new baby after it is born.

Kyler and Elaine desire your prayers as they begin this journey. Please pray for them as they wait and continue to work towards adoption. Pray for the birth mom and the precious life she carries, as she makes this difficult decision. Thank you so much for showing up in support and prayer for the Root family as they open their home and family to a sweet little one. God bless you!
