FUNDRAISING BEGINS!

Are you aware that the cost to adopt an infant in the United States is extremely high?

We were floored when we found that the approximate fees to adopt in this country are close to $30,000.

For legal and ethical reasons, it is best to work closely with a professional agency. Our agency, Hope's Promise, came highly recommended and has an excellent reputation. You can learn more about them by visiting www.hopespromise.com.

The income we make as a Classical Musician and Pilates Instructor is not large by any standard. Originally we were daunted by the cost. We wondered if this was yet another (seemingly) insurmountable obstacle placed in front of us. Was it a sign that we were just not meant to be parents?

We prayed together and looked to our families for support and advice. Obviously, we have chosen to move forward. We believe that nothing is impossible with God and we know that we are called to embark on this particular journey in order to expand our family.

We absolutely have to raise funds in order for our adoption journey to continue.  At the moment, we are in the midst of the Colorado State Required Home Study process. We have been matched with a case worker who will meet with us several times in order to interview us at length and who will also inspect our home.  We complete the Home Study process on May 17th.

AT THAT TIME OUR FIRST AGENCY FEE OF $10,200 IS DUE. WE CANNOT BE CONSIDERED A "WAITING FAMILY" AND GO INTO A WAITING POOL UNTIL WE SUBMIT THIS FEE.

It is our hope that you will find it in your hearts to support us generously in our endeavor. We are happy to answer any questions that you have, and we would love for you to continue to be a part of our adoption journey, if you are interested.


Thank you so much for taking the time to prayerfully consider or reflect upon our request. We continue to ask God to bless us and give us patience, as we cannot wait to become parents.
