We have always loved and been drawn to children, and we have talked, dreamed, hoped and planned to adopt for most of our married years (nearly 10). We began the process over 3 years ago, and after much waiting and large life changes, we now need to place our adoption process on hold. We long to bring our child home, but we are trusting that His plan is far greater than what we imagined and see this as a time for deeper preparation for our family. Because we raised most of our support when we began our adoption journey 3 years ago, we desire to see this used for other children to come home to their forever families in the meantime…until it is our turn again!

**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.
