We are so excited to announce that we have been formally matched with a 6 year old boy from Thailand! We can’t share his legal name or photo of his face publicly until the adoption is finalized, but we can share that his nickname is Sunny. It seems fitting since, in almost every photo we …
Ups and Downs
Our “Fear Less, Love More” t-shirt fundraiser came to a close at the end of September and man, what a success! We sold over 70 shirts and raised nearly $1,200! We also received several generous donations directly to our adoption fund! We are so grateful for everyone who decided to join our team and support …
Fear Less, Love More
We’ve been heads down the last month knocking out document requests, medical appointments, background checks (yes, one for each of the combined six states we’ve lived in), and having individual and family interviews with our social worker at Catholic Charities.
