Toy Story 2 Movie Fundraiser

As we got started into the paperwork on the adoption process, we told family and some friends what we were doing. So many were excited and thrilled for us and a few immediately offered to help raise funds for our adoption! We were so thankful for these offers and as we moved forward and learned about what fees were coming up, we decided to ask them for help.

We hosted a movie night fundraiser and showed Toy Story 2, which is a favorite at our house. We sold admission and also pop and popcorn. Lots of young families with little kids came and we were so glad! We had such a fun time talking with everyone. We were encouraged by people asking us about how things were going and we were very thankful for the support.

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!

Getting Started

This past Summer we decided to begin the adoption process. We got in touch with A New Beginning Adoption Agency and applied and were accepted! We are so glad to be working with this agency again. We worked with A New Beginning with our first adoption and at that time we choose them because they were locally based and had a caseworker in our area. We also had friends from church who adopted through them; one was a domestic infant adoption and another was through the foster program. Both friends had great things to say about the support of the agency and the guidance they gave throughout the whole process. After our application was approved, we went to the infant adoption training in early September. We drove 6 hours to get there and enjoyed the time in the car to talk. The training was fabulous! We attended sessions all day on Friday and then a half day on Saturday. We were fed meals and snacks and had plenty of time to get to know some of the other adoptive families a...

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!
