Help Grow the Mashour Family: An Adoption Journey

Greetings, we are friends and colleagues of the Mashours. Blake (a pediatric nurse), Emily (a third-grade teacher), and their three-year-old son, James Russell, are in the process of growing their family and would benefit from our help. The cost of adoption is grossly unfortunate and we hope to lessen the financial stress through this GoFundMe. Below you can read Blake and Emily's words on adopting James Russell. We hope you will be moved to contribute. Thank you.

"Adopting our son has changed our lives in the best way possible! We

have learned so much through this process. Our hearts have opened to his birth-mom and her kids. We are so connected with his birth-family. We want to adopt again because we know our son is going to be a fantastic older sibling. We have met so many families with their own adoption story. It is exciting that our son gets to grow up around a supportive adoptive community. We first started talking about adoption on our third date and knew this was where the Lord had led us. It has far exceeded our high expectations we had when starting this. We still have so much love to give your child."
