Support Our Journey to Adopt Three Children

In June 2024, after experiencing our second miscarriage within a year, we decided to do something we had always dreamed of... pursue adoption. We decided to adopt out of the foster care system and completed all the required DSS training by December 2024 and had the home study in February 2025.

On April 5, 2025, we attended an adoption event at a bowling alley. We went into the event, and into adoption in general, looking to adopt one girl. However, God had much more in store for us! At the bowling event, we became very interested in a sibling set of three. We waited months for paperwork to come in so that we could find out more information about these precious kids. That information came to us in July and only made us love them more. We decided then to go forward with adopting this precious sibling set!

We had our first official meeting at our home on Friday, July 18, and at the end of the visit, the boy said, "I was really scared to come here, but now I don't want to leave" and the younger girl said, within just a few minutes of being here, "Can I call you mommy?"

They will be placed into our home on Friday, July 25th, and we hope to be their forever family! Instead of having one big sister, our little girl will have two big sisters and a big brother! We know that God has led us on this journey and that He will take care of us as we become a family. The love and support of family of friends has been so encouraging to us as we embark on this somewhat insane and very exciting journey. Thank you for being with us! We truly appreciate all the gifts.

Incorporating three children very suddenly into our household has required many new purchases, and the children appreciate each little and big thing. They have to live with us at least 3 months before we can legally adopt them, so our adoption date is tentatively set for sometime in November.
