About this Fundraiser

Jonathan and I are so excited to adopt! When Jonathan and I were dating, we discussed our openness to growing our family through adoption. That desire continues to grow and we have taken our first step towards our daughter. We submitted our application for approval on Saturday, April 8 and are now in the dossier and home study phase which is 5-6 months long. 

"I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." John 14:18

I have been personally impacted by adoption as my two younger siblings, Sam and Daisy, are adopted. I can't imagine my family being complete without them. Jonathan and I know our family won't be complete without our daughter. I was privileged to go to China with my parents to meet my little sister and that seed of adopting internationally (specifically China) was planted. It has been a long journey to this point already since we needed to meet certain criteria before applying but we have finally met them!

In these almost 10 years of marriage, adopting has been on our hearts and in our prayers. While there are times I feel nervous or fears surface, I am being faithfully reassured that the Lord is behind us, with us, and before us. It has been and continues to be a joy praying expectantly for our daughter. 

We are encouraged and thankful for our friends and family around us through this journey. We cherish your prayers and deeply appreciate the support you are giving.

"Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think." Ephesians 3:20

Jonathan

When I was in the youth group with Molly and her older brothers, Hunter and Zack, I vividly remember Hunter sharing updates on the struggles they were going through as a family in the adoption process of Sam. I remember us praying for them and seeing how it involved and touched the family as a whole. I heard about the heartache, pain and ultimately the great joy when his adoption was finalized. I never knew Sam or Daisy until Molly and I  started dating. I could go on and on about the impact those two have had in my life since being in the family. God has truly blessed countless people through those two kids and I have witnessed the miracle of adoption first hand through them! It has always been known between Molly and myself that we have been called to adopt. 

We had the privilege of going to China in 2013 where we visited an amazing foster home. This foster home specifically welcomes children who are too sick and usually in need of major surgeries. They are loved on, prayed over, given medical treatment/surgeries, sponsored, and matched for adoption. Although it was short, I will never forget my time there and the fire it lit within me to answer God's call for us to adopt. At the time, it was a waiting game for Molly to hit the magical age of 30! We are finally here, we are finally doing this, and we are amazed each day of the amazing God that we serve. We absolutely cherish your prayers and support in this and are encouraged knowing that God has this under control! We don't know what the future holds, but we, without a single doubt, know WHO holds the future! 

"Every good and every perfect gift is from above  ." James 1:17

Prayer Requests

God's Timing - What peace we can claim knowing He is in control! Though I would love to get our paperwork in and approved in record time, it is His timing we can rest in.

Medical Conditions - That the Lord would give us peace, discernment, wisdom, and guidance with each box that we check for acceptable medical conditions.  

Bonding/Attachment - That the Lord will continue to prepare our heart and hers.

Our understanding and efficiency with our paperwork.
