About this Fundraiser


We have BIG news!

We are adopting another child!  

((UPDATE 11/1/2020))  We recently found out, that after reviewing our family profile and our application to adopt a beautiful 12 year old girl from the Philippines, the Intercountry Board (ICAB) who oversees adoptions there has requested we submit our homestudy and dossier for review to be matched with her!  What's next is ICAB will review our homestudy and we could be matched with her within 3-6 months!!!

If you don't know our family, let us share a glimpse into it ... 

Our family grew through adoption in 2018 when our sweet son Karthi, joined this crazy crew that is the Crowes. God then surprised us with our little ruler of the home, Hattie Kaye in September of 2019!

Ever since we returned from India, we Jon and I have felt a deep call to adopt again. While we know that we all won’t adopt, we know he called us to “Go!” and if he says go, you don’t say “No.” … remember Jonah?

Last May, we prayed and waited for clarity about where we should go. Then a little while after we prayed, while we were out for a walk with the kids, we shared with each other that we had come to the same but separate conclusion about where God would have us go. We are so thankful he has answered our prayers and has given us peace as we work through this process again.

So, on Mother’s Day 2020, we sent our application and fees to our adoption agency to begin a journey to the Philippines. It was a very humbling thought, especially on that day, God would again be willing to allow us to parent another mother’s child.

We received a special home finding list (SHF) from our adoption agency which was hundreds of pages of children and sibling groups waiting for families.  We were heartbroken, overwhelmed and we didn't know where to start - so, we prayed.  God led us both, separately to the young girl we are currently in pursuit of.  There has been much confirmation from him that we are on the right path and can't wait to see what he has in store for us and our future child.

As we look back upon Karthi’s adoption, we truly believe we found favor with God in our own finances, grants and our other fundraising efforts as the fees crept up towards $50,000. In each moment of the journey, as our hope would sometimes fade … He would (literally) drop the funds into our hands. And each time it was tangible evidence of his faithfulness and it gave us the confidence to know we were truly in line with what he had called us to do. (James 1:27)

Jon and I are fundraising again and have a couple of requests. First, we hope that you could include our family and our future child (or children?) in your prayers. Second, that you would share our request with those who you would trust to pray for us. And finally, if you can or feel led, donate to help us bring another child to find a forever family.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for investing your treasure in us and in God’s eternal kingdom. For that, we are forever thankful.

From the bottom of our hearts,

Thank you.
