Campaign Story

We are eager to announce that we’re starting the ADOPTION process!

We are so excited to finally share this news, as it’s been something we’ve been working towards for over 5 years. Much of our delay has been due to the cost of adoption. Adoption through an agency can cost upwards of $80,000 or more. The cost alone has halted our efforts and taken our breathe away. We have been encouraged by friends and family to put our pride aside and look towards fundraising, so that’s what we are doing! Matching with an expectant mother could take upwards to a year, but we cannot officially “match” with her and her child until the funds are available, which has us in a vulnerable spot.

If you don’t know us- We are Tim and Jenny and live in Louisiana. We have persevered many infertility treatments (including IUIs and IVFs), as well as multiple surgeries to maintain fertility and curb the pain of endometriosis. After 8 years with no child, we have decided we would rather invest our time in our adoption journey. Love makes a family, not just genetics, and we have so much love to give.

If you felt led to support us, we would appreciate a donation of any amount on our Gift of Parenthood Fundraiser. https://giftofparenthood.org/fundraiser/lazarus-adoption-fundraiser/

We would highly appreciate if you could share our page with those who may be willing to support us. Prayers are also appreciated! Consider praying for the birthmothers who are going through such a selfless process of adoption and to provide healing in all the way possible.

If you know of an expectant mother who is looking for a supportive agency and loving family for her child, we ask that you share American Adoptions as an agency she can use to facilitate her adoption, as well as to provide counseling and therapy.

If anyone has any questions, comments, or advice, please feel free to message me. We are eager to create a beautiful life for a little one, and our hearts are open and ready for this. We are so excited for Baby Lazarus!
