We are a loving, committed couple who has always dreamed of growing our family through adoption. As an older couple, we know our journey looks a little different'but we truly believe that life experience, patience, and deep gratitude make us strong, steady parents. We are a licensed foster family with a home study approved, ready and open to providing a safe, nurturing home to a child who needs love and stability. Unfortunately, the cost of adoption can reach $40,000 or more, and despite exhausting every option available to us, the financial burden remains our biggest obstacle. This fundraiser exists because our hearts are ready'even if our resources are not yet. Every share, donation, or kind word helps bring us one step closer to welcoming a child into a family full of love, security, and hope.
