Help Complete Our Family Through Adoption-Puzzle Fundraiser

Donation protected
BIG NEWS!

After a lot of praying and trust in God we are moving forward in faith to start our adoption journey again. As many of you know, this has not been an easy journey for us or a decision to try again.

We have had two “failed” or “disrupted” adoptions and while we have kept contact and have incredible relationships with both families in those situations - we still know with all our hearts that we are supposed to add one more little one to our family. As you can imagine adoption is EXPENSIVE and unfortunately don’t have the time table we did previously to try and save up for years as we did for our past adoption that didn’t work out. You might be surprised to hear this but on average adoption-related costs can easily total upwards to $60,000+. So our adoption consulting firm we are using this go around, has recommended that we have about $50,000-60,000 ready for our future match and in order for things to go as quickly and smoothly as possible.

SO that leads us here. We have started a crowdfunding campaign but not your ordinary one. We are using this specific platform to help us with a portion of the adoption costs and then will hopefully do the remaining amount in another fundraiser where we are going to make t-shirts for sale. BUT for this one we wanted to be able to do it in a “puzzle fundraiser” fashion. Meaning, every person that donates will have their name written on the back of a puzzle piece and then we will get to put that puzzle together and frame it for baby’s room one day. It’s our way to put together all the pieces that helped us make this happen and remember it forever.
We don’t want to set a specific puzzle amount (ie; 500 or 1000 piece) because we are just trusting God in this journey to help us get to what we need to in order to complete our family.

Anyways, we hope that by inviting you into this process you will see yourself was part of our family as we hope, pray and begin this process again to match and start the journey to our forever.
