Josh and I are surrounded by a rich community of adoptive parents and children through our church and friend group. We have walked with families who have adopted and have built meaningful relationship with their children. It has always been our strong belief that we are all called to play a part in adoption whether that be adopting ourselves or providing resources to support those who do adopt. I did not anticipate Josh and I would adopt ourselves, but we first started having the conversation when we first experienced infertility back in 2016. We have longed to be parents and God closed the doors on us to conceive biologically. It has been a long and painful journey of failed fertility treatments for the past 3 years which lead us to not only consider adoption but to experience it as God’s perfect plan for growing our family. We wait with great hope of what God is doing and how He will bring our long awaited child home!

**AN IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION FROM ABBA FUND ABOUT YOUR DONATION**
Using the online form on this page automatically submits a request to preference your gift to the family profiled on this page as part of ABBA Fund’s Christian Family Adoption Grant Fund. ABBA Fund administers this fund and maintains full control and administration of all donated funds. We also strive to honor our donor’s preference requests in accordance with IRS and Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) guidelines.
The IRS allows donors to state a preference of how their contribution is used and request that the gift support a particular family — and it allows the charitable organization (ABBA Fund) to fully consider that request as long as the donor understands and acknowledges for charitably given tax-deductible gifts that the ultimate authority regarding the disposition of your gift is at the discretion of the charitable organization. By using this online form, or other method described above, you are acknowledging an understanding of those IRS guidelines.
