Education Classes and Home Study

Hey everyone! First, I'd like to say THANK YOU for all of the support you've given us! This really means so much to us.

Paul and I had our first meeting with our adoption counselor, Stephanie last week. She has been an adoption counselor with Adoptions From the Heart (AFTH) for 20 years. She has been a wealth of information so far and we're really excited to work with her.

In our meeting with Stephanie, we set up a bunch of training/educational classes that will keep us busy through March. During this time, we'll be learning more about open adoption, transracial adoption and the joining of cultures through adoption. Once we've completed all of these classes, we'll have our home study. This is basically where Stephanie will come into our home to make sure that it is a safe space for our new baby. It's my hope to be completed with these classes and have an approved home study by mid-April. 

The cost for these classes and home study will be $2,800. We know that this is the Lord's dream planted in our hearts. And we know He will provide all the funds that are needed throughout this journey. If you feel led to give to us, we do have a GoFundMe account setup to receive donations. 

Thank you for partnering with us on the journey! We love each of you!

We're Adopting!

Welcome to our adoption blog!

To some of you, for us to adopt may come as a total surprise. But in reality, adoption has been something we've been thinking about for several years! You can read more about our story to adoption on our page here. Please take a few minutes to read it to better understand why we're choosing adoption for our family.

Over the last several months, we've been praying and researching different agencies in the area to determine which one would be best for our family. We are excited to say we're going to work with Adoptions From the Heart to expand our family. We believe they will be a great fit for our family.  If you'd like more information about them, check out their website or their YouTube page.

The goal of our blog is to keep our family and friends updated on our journey through the adoption process. Please take a look around our blog to get more info. Keep checking back for more updates on our journey to adoption.
