Last summer we met Jacobo and our lives will forever be changed. He is 12 years old, living in foster care in Colombia and hopes to be adopted by a loving family. (That's him on the far left.)
We are matched and in the process of adopting Jacobo, and are doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome him to our family.
As part of our adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. It may surprise you to hear that adoption related costs can easily total up to $35,000 or more. Chris was laid off from his job and we aren't able to take advantage of the $8,000 adoption assistance they provide to employees. This is why we have set a goal of $8,000 to help ease our financial burden.
We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around Jacobo as he grows up.
