When I lived in California we used to pass this mural all the time that said: "It takes a village to raise a child." It's an old proverb that means a child has a better chance of growing into a stable, healthy and properly functioning member of society when multiple people take a role in the child's life. This is how we were raised and how we plan to raise or child(ren).

Some of you know the fees associating with private adoption are astronomical. The average cost of domestic (US born) adoptions through an agency is around $30,000 and that doesn't include the things you need to raise the child like a crib, stroller, car seats...etc. So this is where we need our village. Instead of just creating a GoFundMe and saying "give us money" we wanted to fundraise in a way that gives you something in return. To help offset the cost of our fees I am creating custom digital paintings. They will be loose interpretations so they may not look exactly like you but are fun to have. They're great for holiday greeting cards, cell phone lock screens, save the dates and more!
