Short Summary
Hi family and friends,
As most of you know, Kyle and I have been trying to have a baby for the past 3 years. Because of my (Katie's) medical diagnosis, this has been very difficult for us. We have done every treatment offered and then decided to do in vitro fertilization (IVF). We have now had 3 failed cycles with one fresh IVF and 2 frozen embryo transfers. We still have 8 frozen embryos and will, in a few years, revisit doing another frozen embryo transfer. As for right now, we feel we are being lead to adopt. Because of the expenses from the IVF procedures, our funds for adoption are running very low.
We really feel that God is leading us to adoption. We would love the support of our family and friends to make our dream of being parents come true.

OTHER COSTS
Birthparent Support Fee
LSS requires that all adoptive families contribute to our birthparent support fund,which covers medical, legal, critical needs, and counseling costs for birthparents. This is a sliding scale fee based on 4% of the adoptive family’s adjusted gross income. This contribution is due 6 months after workshop completion.
Situational Expenses:
For adoptive families residing more than 25 miles from the nearest LSS/MT office, travel expenses will be charged for services that require travel to their home.

With this fundraiser, you will be helping us to make our dream a reality by starting our family. We have so much love to give to a child and can not wait to see what God has in store for us.
