“He predestined us to be adopted as sons through Jesus Christ for himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace that he lavished on us in the Beloved One.” (Ephesians 1:5-6)

Adoption first became dear to our hearts when we realized that God had adopted us into His family. Through His great love, we have been welcomed as His children, given full rights, and promised as eternal inheritance.

This truth has deeply impacted us since we came to faith, shaping the way we view our own family.

In recent years, the Lord has worked in two significant ways. First, He has given us a longing to see our family grow. Second, He has connected us with many adoptive families, allowing us to witness firsthand how adoption beautifully reflects God’s love and expands a family in a Christ-honoring way.

Because of these experiences, we feel clearly called to pursue adoption. Our hope is to welcome a newborn from New Mexico into our home, to love unconditionally, and to embrace as family.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Would you consider joining us in this journey?

We would be grateful for your prayers as we wait to be matched with a birth mom and baby. We are trusting the Lord’s timing and hope the opportunity comes soon.

Adoption also brings significant financial costs. We believe God has called us to this path and will provide what is needed. Would you consider supporting our adoption financially? We are excited to share that every donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000. Your support will go twice as far in helping us bring our child home. Any amount you can give is deeply appreciated.

Please consider partnering with us through prayer and support as we pursue this calling.

**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.
