Campaign Story

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

We are so excited to finally share this news, as adoption has been something we’ve worked towards for over 5 years. Much of our delay has been due to the cost of adoption. Traditional adoption through an agency can cost upwards of $80,000 or more. Embryo adoption is much more affordable AND allows for us to experience pregnancy and the bonding opportunity. The cost alone for both options 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 the selfless family and their frozen embryos could take upwards to a year, but we cannot officially “match” 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 here 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 and to give life to precious frozen embryos. Prayers are also appreciated! Consider praying for the biological families who are going through such a selfless process of adoption and to provide healing in all the ways possible.

If anyone has advice or encouragement about the embryo adoption process, please feel free to email us. 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 (Babies) Lazarus!
