We Are Adopting!
Yes, you read that correctly. The Lord said now is the time! We are moving forward with great excitement and expectation to raise arrows for the Kingdom of God. We are believing for twins!!
We were shocked to learn on average it takes about $50K-$70K to adopt a child, but it takes $0 to have an abortion. We are believing our children will be the seed of reformation that will bring transformation to the adoption industry
We’d love for you to join and partner with us on this exciting journey!
How the journey started
God put the desire for adoption in each of our hearts as we were kids. When we got married we thought kids would come right away but instead we started experiencing fertility challenges.
Fast forward a few years after being active in church planting, international ministry, and the business world, we returned to our childhood dreams to adopt. Through the recommendation of trusted friendships, we were connected with Christian Adoption Consultants to help guide us through the process and our dreams started to become reality.
Baby Steps to Babies.
Adoption is a journey with so many steps. Each step leads us closer to introducing the world to the Lawrence Twins.
-
Imagine a photo book about us, and this is shared with every potential match.
-
A licensed professional makes sure our home is suitable for kids.
-
In the beginning stages! Thank you for joining us!
-
We apply to at least 3, possibly 6 adoption agencies to share our profile book with many birth families.
-
A birth mom reviews our profile book and decides to invite us to consider adopting her babies.
-
We agree we would love to adopt the birth mom’s children and we move forward to planning to meet when the babies are born.
-
We travel to be there for the birth and meet the babies in the hospital, then we come home!
-
A few months after birth, we stand before a judge who finalizes the adoption!
We have partnered with AdoptTogether.org - the world’s largest crowed funding non-profit platform. They have helped over 5,000 families, raise $35 million to adopt children, in all 50 states, and in 67 countries. AdoptTogether.org is a project of Hoping Hearts Foundation - a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. All donations are tax deductible.
How it works:
When you donate towards the Lawrence adoption, all donations will be ear marked for the Lawrence adoption account ID #FUN601376. We will then work with the Adopt Together team for grant and receipt reimbursements restricted only to the budget costs of the Lawrence adoption process. Please see the budget breakdown below.
We love a good movie, so below are the partnership levels…you can even maximize your impact by 2x or 3x as a matching partner.
We are grateful to have generous partners who have agreed to do a 50% match of our adoption campaign. Each $1 donated will be matched $1 for $1 until we hit our goal.
Partnership Levels Based on Baby Movie Themes:
Boss Baby Sponsor: 5 partners at $5,000 = $25,000 ✔️
Baby Geniuses Sponsor: 16 // 11 partners at $1,000 = $16,000 = $11,000
Baby’s Day Out Sponsor: 24 // 23 partners at $500 = $12,000 = $11,500
Look Who’s Talking Sponsor: 30 partners at $250 = $7,500
__________________________
75 partners | Raised to Date: $30,810 | 51% of Goal | Target: $60,500
*All donations are tax deductible and restricted for the Lawrence adoption process and expenditures only.
We are beyond grateful for your generosity!
