Matching Grant

About a year ago our family began the process of adoption.  Although we desired to have more children, we were not able to have more at that time.  Instead, we felt that God was leading us towards becoming a forever family to a child through adoption. 

We are continually in awe of God’s faithfulness!  We began this journey with a giant leap of faith and have seen one miracle after another.  We felt that God was calling us in this direction but knew that there was no way we would be able to finance it ourselves.  All along the way God has brought surprise money into our lives to help with the next step (we actually had a check catch up to us eight years late, just in time for one of the deadlines).  It has been fun to see Him work!

This isn’t a high pressure post, because we believe that God has a plan for how this will work out. But, if you are feeling God’s leading in this direction, or have wanted to make a tax deductible donation before the end of the year, here’s some information about a grant we just received.

We were recently awarded a matching funds grant to help with the expenses of our adoption through Hand in Hand Christian Adoption, Inc. a non-profit private operating foundation.  Hand in Hand will match any funds that are donated through our friends and family for the expenses of our adoption.  All funds received through our friends and family will be matched dollar for dollar by Hand in Hand up to our awarded grant amount.   All donations are tax-deductible.

You may contact Hand in Hand Christian Adoption, Inc. with any questions you may have.  They can be reached at 913-248-5015 or by e-mail at handinhandadopt@gmail.com.

Please send all donations made payable to “Hand in Hand Christian Adoption” postmarked by December 21st to: (for tax purposes please include our name on the outside of the envelope only…do not put our name on the check itself)

Thank you for the support you have given our family!  More than anything, we appreciate your willingness to listen to the latest developments, your prayers, and your offers of help for when Jason is manning the home front while Leya goes to China.  We are very thankful that we will be bringing Craig home to the support of so many.
