Eric & Shelly's Adoption Journey

Hi, we are Eric & Shelly Gardner. After dating for several years, we were married on June 21, 2014. In 2016, we were super excited to start trying to build a family. Sadly, we suffered a miscarriage that October and lost our precious Patricia Marie. In 2017, we were pregnant again and miscarried our second child, Riley Sebastian. After losing our third child, Madison Rose in 2018, we decided to try to conceive one more time. Unfortunately, after several months, we were unable to conceive. After much prayer, we felt as if God was closing the door to traditional family building. Shortly after, we were led to the journey of adoption. 


Shelly's hearts desire has always been to be a mother. We have always dreamed of raising a baby girl. With your help, this dream can come true! All of the money raised in this campaign will be used to cover the fees and expenses of the adoption. Please consider helping us to ease the financial burden of this amazing journey. 


We THANK YOU in advance from the bottom of our hearts for helping to build our family! It is hard to find the words to express what this would mean to us. We are truly humbled by your gifts of generosity and continued prayers. We can't wait to meet our precious baby that God has chosen for us! 


"God has perfect timing. Never early, never late. It takes a little patience and a whole lot of faith, but it's worth the wait. God is writing our story."
