Campaign Story

Thank you for checking out our story. I’m Rachel, and this is my husband, Jesse. We are taking a leap of Faith in becoming parents—of filling our home with laughter, bedtime stories, and the kind of love only a child can bring. Our journey to grow our family hasn’t been easy. As a childhood cancer survivor, I’m unable to carry a child safely, and after much prayer and reflection, we’ve felt called to adoption. 

Adoption is a beautiful, hopeful path—but it’s also one that comes with significant financial hurdles. Between agency fees, legal costs, and home studies, the expenses add up quickly, often exceeding $40,000. It’s a daunting reality, but we believe wholeheartedly that this is how we’re meant to build our family. Every step—every form, every interview, every waiting period—brings us closer to God and the child He has picked chosen who will one day call us Mom and Dad. In the waiting we are fully trusting in God because He is faithful. 

We’re asking for your support to help make this dream a reality. Even the smallest contribution brings us closer to our dream of becoming parents. More than anything, we’re grateful for your prayers, encouragement, and belief in our family’s future.

Thank you for being part of our story. With your help, we know our greatest adventure—parenthood—is just around the corner.
