Campaign Story

We are Cassie and Jason, and we have been on a heartfelt journey to build our family since September 2020. Over the past four years, we have faced immense heartache, including three miscarriages, multiple failed IUI attempts, and failed IVF. Most recently, we experienced a disrupted adoption just three weeks before the baby was due. Despite these devastating setbacks, we were fortunate to be matched with another expectant mother, and we are thrilled to be adopting her baby, due in January, in mere weeks! Our family and friends are just as excited to welcome this child, as they have ridden this journey of heartache right alongside us and have supported us each step to this point.

The final stretch of this adoption journey will cost us $40,000. We have already spent $70,000 in fertility treatments, the past disrupted adoption, and initial costs of this current adoption. Any contribution you can make, no matter how small, towards our remaining balance would bring us immeasurable happiness and help us finally bring our baby home, after years of struggle.

We long for our child to share life’s special moments with us, Grandma, who lives with us, and our loving community of family and friends. We envision a future filled with joy with our little blessing, and look forward to all the precious moments, from playing, bedtime stories, and teaching them life’s lessons, to seeing them off to college and pursuing a bright future of their own. We will raise them in a bilingual household and to be proud of their Spanish heritage and American upbringing. As they grow, we will encourage self-confidence, self-reliance, selflessness, empathy, forgiveness, love, and above all, being grateful for this life and to have respect for all things. We will nurture an appreciation for music and the arts, and the importance of pursuing an education, interests, and especially their passions. We look forward to all these things and so much more with them.

We have been praying for our long night to end and see the first hints of dawn. With your help, our new family will soon bask in the bright sun. Thank you for considering to help us achieve our dream of adopting!
