We've decided to adopt a child! After much seeking and praying, it became clear that God has called us to adopt our 1st child and we have decided to pursue domestic infant adoption. We're so excited to give a child an opportunity to grow up in our home and can't wait to see what God has in store for our family as it continues to grow!

We've started a fundraiser on Pure Charity to raise the funding that we need to make our adoption a success. We have a donations goal of $20,000 through Pure Charity (in addition to some other fundraisers that we are doing) that will go towards the cost of the adoption. We have already paid the initial adoption expenses, but admit that we need to humbly ask for help to make this dream and calling a reality. If there is a theme we kept hearing over and over again from families who already adopted, it was "Don't let finances get in the way of pursuing adoption. God will provide." We are blessed to have such a large, amazing community of supportive people in our lives. We are asking you to consider helping us finance our adoption. Also, we would appreciate your willingness to share this with others who may want to participate.

Thank you so much for being a part of our lives and helping accomplish something that's important to all of us! You can follow our blog at growingournation.com as well!
