About Us

A mother’s hope for a better life for her child, fulfilled my hope of becoming a mother. In April 2007, my husband and I traveled to Guatemala to bring home our son.  I have created this website to help prospective adoptive parents finance their adoption.

Our Journey 

My husband, James, and I got married in 1997 and two years later we decided we were ready to have a family.  After several years of trying and infertility treatment, I became pregnant only to miscarry. After that, our hearts were not in continuing infertility treatment. We were financially unwilling to spend thousands of dollars on in vitro fertilization, when we could use that money to adopt a child.

In August 2004, we agreed we would adopt and not put any more money toward trying to have biological children.  James said we were not going to go in debt to adopt and we had no money saved because of the infertility treatment.

I spent the next few weeks researching domestic and international adoption. Once we decided on international adoption, I started looking into different countries and the money required to adopt two children. We decided to adopt from Russia and we calculated how much we needed to bring home our children. We started saving and raising money.

At the end of 2004 and beginning 2005, Russia’s adoption program was changing and fewer families adopting children from Russia. There did not seem, at the time, to be a resolution to the slow down. I began to wonder if we were going to be able to adopt. I spent several sleepless nights praying. It was in spring, that one of our friends from church suggested domestic adoption and gave the name of a local attorney and agency. I did not believe that domestic adoption was the way God was calling us, but I decided to look into the agency.  Much to my surprise the agency did not do domestic adoptions; but international and the only country that they worked with was Guatemala.<%2
