Fundraising

For some reason, to many people outside of the adoption community, those fundraising for adoption are considered unfit parents.  We are constantly told, "If you can't afford to adopt then you can't afford to raise a child."

Perhaps it is time to explain adoption expenses.  Adoptions normally cost $20,000 - 30,000.  We understand medical costs, diapers, formula, etc.  We have to pay all of that, too.  But we don't get to cover everything with health insurance.  Normally adoptive parents don't get big ticket items (cribs, strollers, carseats, etc.) as gifts, either.  Plus $20,000 on top of that!

Other than overhead costs- building expenses, salaries, etc.- adoption costs are about the birth mother.  Adoption is about the selfless family that places their precious child into another family's arms.  If necessary, adoptive families will pay rent, groceries, medical bills... anything birth mom needs to take care of her and her child.

All that being said, we have begun our fundraiser for our second adoption!  Yes, we are primarily pursuing embryo adoption.  There are no guarantees in this, obviously.  And, if the embryo adoption is not successful, we will be jumping right into domestic adoption again!

If you are so inclined, please donate to our adoption.  If you cannot help financially, please support us in prayer and by giving us a "hug" on our Fundraiser Site.
