Bringing Home Baby Loyer: Help us Find a Birth Mother!

Wednesday, February 18, 2015

"It takes a village" they say...and boy is our village AMAZING! Joe and I are overwhelmed with the outpouring of love and support we have been given as we embark on this journey to parenthood through adoption. From your prayers to your monetary support to your encouragement with your words, we can't thank you enough!

Last week, we explored two ways that you can help us bring Baby Loyer home. Part 1 asked you to pray for us as we begin the seemingly long wait process. Part 2 asked you to step out on a ledge and prayerfully consider donating to our Butterfly Fundraiser.

Today we are going to explore Part 3-Help us Find a Birth Mother!

While we have chosen an agency and we absolutely love our social worker and everything about her, the wait time with working with such a small agency can be long...as in two years long. We are willing to wait for however long it takes for God to allow our paths to cross with our birth mother, but we also know that we have an AMAZING village and want to explore all of our options.

Enter-designated adoption. Designated adoption is when we meet a birth mother through mutual connections of family and friends. There is a major price difference when it comes to this route because we are doing the connecting as opposed to the agency providing all of the services.

For example:

Domestic Infant Adoption: $14,000

Designated Adoption: $7,000

So what can you do to help us find Baby Loyer?



1. Share our photo and adoption intentions on any social media site. 
  • Example: Hey everyone, I know an amazing couple who is looking to expand their family through adoption. If you or anyone you know is interested, let me know! Thanks for sharing! 
2. Ask around about any adoption situations.
  • Hospitals, birthing centers, etc are great resources
3. Continue to pray! 
  • We know that God's plan will work out perfectly and that He has already chosen our sweet baby and amazing birth mom. We know that He will make things work out in His perfect timing but it doesn't make the wait time any easier. So please continue to pray for strength and patience during this process!
Thanks for being so amazing, village! Baby Loyer is so loved!
