February 2020 Update

It has been several months since we posted an update for our adoption plans. Currently we are still on the waiting list with our agency to be matched. About a week ago we completed the yearly renewal process on our home study. It's a general update to the paperwork we've previously completed (fingerprints, home inspection, etc). We enjoyed visiting with our caseworker, and our agency in Boise has been very helpful. God continues to bless us with a smooth process.

We are thankful for where we are. We have been on the waiting list a little over a year, but we know our agency is working to get us matched. We are notified when our profile book is shown to birth mothers. Our book was shown about twenty times over the last 12 months. We have all the required adoption funds in place so we are all ready for when we are matched.

We would appreciate prayers that we are matched soon. But we know that God has a perfect time for us.

Thank you,
Jesse and Kate

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!
