Jaden's Secret?? He's going to be a big brother!!

To help us bring home Baby #2, we have started this fundraiser that is TAX-DEDUCTIBLE! How awesome is that?? 

(How is it Tax-Deductible? Read the FAQ's here https://adopttogether.org/faq/)

You have probably heard that adoption can be expensive...and it's true, but like all adoptive families, that must not stop us from pursuing our desire to love and care for a child that is waiting for us to become his or her forever family!

Adoption related costs can easily total up to $50,00 or more. Yikes! Why does it cost so much? Learn about the typical costs for adoption further below.

We've set a fundraising goal of $25,000 to help cover half of the cost, and we would love for you to consider helping us get there! 

All funds will be strictly used for direct adoption related expenses. AdoptTogether.org requires adoptive families to send in receipts in order to release donated funds.

We are so excited to announce that we have a special donor who wants to match the FIRST $7,000 that we raise!! Would you help us reach this first milestone? 

Any amount you want to give would be so greatly appreciated! No gift is too small (seriously!), and of course... no gift is too big ; ) 

Whether you decide to give or pray (please pray!), we are so thankful for your support, and you will be part of the community that impacts the life of our child that we haven't met yet.  

Many of you are the reason why we had enough funds to adopt Jaden. He came home at 15-months-old from Taiwan and look at him now! He's such a blessing to those around him, bringing joy to people everywhere he goes. THANK YOU! You have forever changed his life.

HOW TO PRAY:
--For the baby that God has already chosen for our family

--For the baby's birth family

--For our family as we fundraise, go through the adoption process, and as we prepare our hearts and home for Baby #2. Thank you!
