Campaign Details
We are beyond excited to share that we're growing our family through adoption and are doing everything we can to prepare to welcome a beautiful new life into our home.
Through lots of prayer and time processing over the past few months, God has opened the door for us to pursue adoption. Adoption was always a topic of conversation for us throughout our marriage, but after we walked through IVF in 2021 resulting in a pregnancy loss, the Lord used our sorrow and ongoing grief to lead our hearts to adoption.
Adoption-related costs can total $60,000 or more.
Why is it so expensive? Great question. Below is a breakdown of costs associated with adoption, although each case and agency is different.
- Home Study Fee ………………………………….$1,200
- Documentation Prep ……………………………$1,000
- Consultant Fees …………………………………..$4,500
- Profile Book ………………………………………..$2,200
- Agency Application & Fees …………………$20,000+
- Attorney Fees …………………………..…………$10,000+
- Birth Mother Expenses…………………………$5,000+
- Medical Expenses ………………………………..$4,000+
- Travel Expenses……………………………………$3,000+
- Post-Placement Expenses…………………….$750
We have set a goal of $50,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents.
Humbly, we ask you to consider donating to our adoption fund. 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.
We also ask you to pray specifically for:
- our expectant mother - that she may feel peace, comfort, and the love we have for her
- our child - that he/she may know the love of their birth mom, birth family, and adoptive family
- us - Andrew and Theresa - that we feel peace and wisdom in the process
