We have BIG news (and most of you already know it)!
We are adopting a child from Thailand.
We are beyond excited and are doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome a beautiful new life into our home (we hope Baby M will be home in late 2018). 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. Aside from the cost of the adoption we will travel to Thailand for about 1 month to pick up our child. This is why we have set a goal of $10,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents. To date, we have been able to fund the entire adoption process ourselves. We will continue to use our personal funds but want to set up an emergency account in case the unexpected happens- and from what we hear....it happens!
Any of the funds that aren't used directly towards OUR adoption will be donated for the good of the little ones remaining in foster care in Thailand.
We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our child as he/she grows up. And we are so grateful for such an amazing community to bring Baby M into.
