After much thought and prayer, we are reaching out to our community to ask for help.

For over a year now, we have had the privilege of fostering our little boy. He was placed in our arms as an infant, and from that first day he has been ours in every way that matters. We have rocked him through sleepless nights, celebrated every first, and loved him with everything we have. He is our family.

Now we are fighting to make it permanent.

Becoming foster parents was one of the hardest and most beautiful decisions we have ever made. When you open your home to a child, you know going in that the road ahead is uncertain. What you do not know is how completely your heart will belong to them, or how fiercely you will fight to give them the stable, loving family they deserve.

Unfortunately our adoption case is currently in trial court, which is a very rare circumstance in the foster system. After a lot of prayer and hard conversations, we have come to the decision that hiring our own attorney is no longer optional. To give our son the best fighting chance to stay in our home, we need someone in our corner who will advocate fully for what we believe is right.

This decision comes with a heavy financial cost. Between running our small business, caring for our little ones at home, and walking through this legal process, we have stretched ourselves as far as we can. That is why we are humbly asking our community for help.

Every dollar goes directly to attorney fees. Every share helps us reach someone who might be able to give. Every prayer matters more than you know.

If you have ever believed in us or believed that every child deserves a forever home, we are asking you to stand with us now. Thank you for your support and for loving our family through this difficult time.

With so much gratitude,

Mark and Kat Garcia
