Help Us Grow Our Family Through Adoption

Hi, friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers — We’re reaching out with hopeful hearts and a dream that’s still waiting to come true.

My husband and I have longed to grow our family for many years. After countless prayers, tears, and medical appointments, we recently received the heartbreaking news that both of us are infertile. The fertility clinic has done all they can, but unfortunately, they were unable to help us conceive.

Despite this difficult journey, our desire to become parents hasn’t changed — it’s only grown stronger. We believe that love makes a family, and we are now pursuing adoption with full hearts and open arms.

You may remember our previous GoFundMe, which helped cover the costs of initial fertility clinic visits and our move to Texas. That support made an enormous difference. With it, we were able to relocate from the increasingly expensive Utah Valley and purchase a home that is ready and waiting for the pitter-patter of little feet. We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who made that possible.

Now, we are turning to our community once again to ask for help as we take the next step: adoption.

Adoption is a beautiful journey, but it can also be a costly one. From agency fees, legal expenses, home studies, and travel, the financial burden is overwhelming. We are working hard and saving every bit we can, but we can’t do this alone.

If you feel moved to support us, whether through a donation or simply by sharing our story, we would be so grateful. Every dollar brings us closer to bringing a child into our lives — a child we will love unconditionally, raise with care, and cherish forever.

Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for being a part of our village.

With love and gratitude,

Mark and Stephanie Pledger
