Adopt Together is an online organization
developed to assist families with the cost of adoption. Over the last
several years, the cost to adopt has continued to rise which prevents many
orphans from finding forever homes. Home study fees, dossier fees, documentation
fees, and travel fees can reach upwards of $35,000 which discourages many
families from pursuing adoption. This website allows adopting families to
create profiles with their stories and through donations from family and
friends, raise money towards the cost of their adoption.
Mike and I have gone back and forth on whether to use this fundraising tool. Our choice to adopt is our own and we do not expect family and friends to foot the cost. We trust fully in God that if He wants us to adopt, the funds will be available. However, since making our adoption public, several people have asked how they can support us. Honestly, outside of continual prayer, financial support would be greatly appreciated for those who feel led. This website is set up as a non-profit organizations which allows us to receive 100% of the donated funds in the form of grants. To donate to our adoption, click the "Donate with Adopt Together" tab to your left. To learn more, watch this video:
