<div>Hello friends and family,
</div>
<div>This journey began through a lifelong friendship and a set of unforeseen circumstances that I never expected. A dear friend found herself facing an unplanned pregnancy and, after much thought and prayer, realized she was not able to parent. About a week ago, she reached out to me with a request that I have taken straight to the Lord. With the baby due on January 19th, I truly believe this moment is not coincidence, but God’s divine intervention. I see this child as a blessing, entrusted to us through faith, love, and God’s perfect timing.
</div>
<div>God’s Word reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5–6). This verse has become the foundation of this journey as I rely fully on His guidance and provision.
</div>
<div>A courageous young woman has lovingly chosen adoption, and I am humbled to walk alongside her in a process rooted in compassion, prayer, and faith. I truly believe God is at work in this story, weaving together something far greater than any one of us could accomplish on our own.
</div>
<div>Because this adoption involves more than one state, there are extensive legal and logistical steps required to ensure everything is done ethically and lawfully. These include attorney fees, court filings, interstate compact (ICPC) processing, travel, and post-placement supervision. While adoption is a calling I feel deeply led to follow, the financial burden is significant and cannot be carried alone.
</div>
<div>Every donation will go directly toward adoption-related legal fees, permitted medical expenses, and necessary travel so this child can safely and legally come home. I am praying boldly and trusting that God will provide through the generosity of His people.
</div>
<div>Jesus tells us, “Whoever welcomes one such child in My name welcomes Me” (Matthew 18:5). It is my prayer that this journey honors Him and reflects His love for children and families.
</div>
<div>If you are unable to give financially, I humbly ask for your prayers—that God’s will be done, that He would open doors, provide peace, and surround this child with protection and love. Your prayers and support mean more than words can express.
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of this journey and for walking alongside me as I follow where the Lord is leading.
</div>
<div>With a grateful heart,
</div>
<div>Kalen and Hannah Hacker
</div>
