Friends and Family, you are receiving this update because you have subscribed to our adoption support website. Thank you so much for following along and rallying around us throughout this process. We wanted to start providing the same updates here that we post to social media, knowing not all of you will see the latest information there.

So far we have received four cases for review. These cases have reflected birth moms located all over the country, each with a different set of difficult circumstances. For various reasons, none have resulted in a match, but we continue trusting the Lord with this part of the process and believing that every 'no' means he has a different 'yes!' Throughout these ups and downs, God has been so faithful to give us every bit of hope and reassurance we know we couldn't muster on our own, along with special reminders that he is hearing our prayers and very near to us as we wait.

Thanks to the unbelievable generosity of our friends, family, and community we are so close to meeting our goal to fundraise half of our total adoption costs! That's amazing and to say we are grateful would be an understatement. We need just another $1,500 to reach that goal. From there we are praying to hopefully receive at least some grant funding that will help us offset the remainder of our costs from personal savings.

Again, thank you so much for loving us from near and far as we have walked through the hard reality of fertility struggles and now the exciting but challenging journey toward adoption! We hope to update you all with the best news yet sometime soon!

With Love and Gratitude,
Melissa and Anthony
