Pig Raffle


A friend from church contacted us when he heard that we were hoping to adopt again and he offered to raffle one of his pigs that he had raised. Wow! What fun! He generously offered a whole hog, worth around $1,000. We were so thankful!

We sold each ticket for $25 or 5 tickets for $100. Lots of the folks in our community were interested (we're in a super great farming community that loves good bacon!) so we kept the raffle open for two weeks to give lots of folks a chance to enter.

We had the drawing in October and our friend hosted the live feed of our drawing. We entered all the tickets in a bowl, stirred them up, and drew two names. Both of the winners are families who have adopted and we're glad they won!

The money raised from the pig raffle was $2500! The money went directly to our adoption fund to cover future fees like entering the infant program and getting matched.

Help Support Our Adoption

February 2022 We have been matched! Read More Here Our current need is donations for travel and legal fees. The baby boy is about 6 hours away and so Jesse is travelling every weekend to see Kate and the baby. The baby is in the NICU and he will be there until about middle of April. So Jesse will be travelling about 10 times over the next few months. Helping cover the travel fees would be a great blessing to us. We estimate travel fees to be $1000. To finalize the adoption we will need to hire a lawyer to set up all the paperwork for the court. This will happen in about 10-12 months. We are estimating that legal fees will be about $2000. We are very thankful for all the support we have received. Thanks to all the many donations!

Welcome

Jesse and Kate (and Epiphany!) are thankful that you are here. We are starting the adoption process in our home state of Idaho and we wanted to keep our friends updated on our process. We are still working on our home study. We are also trying to raise some more funds. The average cost of a domestic adoption in Idaho is about $24,000. We have about half of that. If you are interested in donating, more information will be coming soon. Please be praying that the whole process will go smoothly. Thanks!
