Frequently Asked Questions
WHERE
Where are you adopting from?
We are doing a domestic adoption, so our birth mom could be from anywhere in the US.
Most situations we have seen have been from Florida though.
Go figure :)
WHEN
When will you have Baby Henderson?
The average time our agency says is 6-10 months.
We officially began in February,
so we are praying for a baby by the end of summer!
COST
How much does adoption cost?
Our financial needs for this adoption will be around $40,000.
This is a lot of money to raise fast!
This is a quick adoption process and we have to raise all
of our funds before we bring our baby home!
Please consider helping our family in any way you can.
Read a blog from our consultant here in regards to adoption costs.

Prayer
Adoption is no small task.
We are opening our hearts and leaving them wide open to many people who we don't know at all.
Pray for A & E's hearts to remain undamaged in this initial process.
We all know of failed adoptions, and we are speaking specifically against anything the Lord would not want or seek for our family. We know He has the perfect baby and the perfect scenario for us. We just want to walk uprightly through it from beginning to end.
Pray for our Birth Mom. She's carrying a life. A life she will willingly entrust to us for the rest of that babies days.
Pray for our babies health. Pray that wholeness is being spoken into his/her life right now.

Tears of joy! Tears of knowing that God knows every tiny specific detail of what's going on and He's at work behind the scenes when we don't even know it. I love you more than you'll ever know.
