Hi!  I’m thrilled to share with you some exciting news for our dear friends, The Peeles!  Over this past year, they have embarked on a new journey in trusting God to grow their family.  They are currently in the process of embryo adoption!  They have already completed a Home Study and have had their initial medical appointment.  I have set up a GoFundMe for them so we can partner together in helping them offset the numerous expensive costs they will incur as they pursue embryo adoption. Here's a little from Matt and Beth!

 

Greetings to you from our family. All of you have walked alongside of us during seasons of infertility, loss, foster care, adoption, and every challenging and hope-filled dynamic that those words can bring with it. We are so grateful for your faithfulness, friendship, prayers, meals, phone calls, texts, and continuous care for us. We could not be more thankful that the Lord was kind enough to lead us to Smith over 11 years ago and allowed us to be his forever home. Since then, we have continued longing to grow our family beyond the three of us. When our fostering season came to an end in 2018, we knew we needed time and space to heal. Time to grieve, time to process, time to heal. That precious time has led us to where we are today: in the process of embryo adoption and prayerfully welcoming another child into our home.

 

Because of the incredible love and support that you have shown us over these years, we wanted to reach out to you and make you aware of some needs we have. As you can imagine, opening ourselves up to this process again is not easy, and so first and foremost, we covet your prayers that the Lord would go before us and truly lead us by His Hand throughout. Secondly, if you are in a place where you can contribute any amount financially towards our goal through a GoFundMe, we would be so grateful. Our hope is in the Lord, and we are asking Him to go before us; if this is His will for our family, we know no obstacle can’t be overcome. Thank you again for everything you have done for us as we have navigated this unforeseen path in our family. The Lord has been so kind to us with the community he has brought before us.

 

My hope in sharing this with you is that you will prayerfully consider helping our friends as they trust God to grow their family.  May their story encourage each of us to trust God in new ways. 

 

Love Rebecca
