Coffee + Orphans + Adoption
We understood when we committed to adopting a child that it meant we were going to have to raise funds to make it possible. Honestly? It's the one piece of this entire process that has given me the heebie jeebies because it partly feels wrong. The more we've talked about adoption with others, the more we've come to learn just how many people really like the idea of adopting, buuuut it costs way too much so they'd never move forward with it. We have been blown away by the support already received thus far. We cannot express our thanks far & wide enough to those who have shown up for us in huge ways. You are forever written in our future child's beginning. Why, oh, why does adoption come with such a hefty price tag when there are so many children needing homes? For a several reasons, including: legal & agency fees, and (sometimes) supporting the expectant mother for her needs. No, she is not "paid" to make an adoption plan,
