Just a few helpful details

Taking the First Step

The estimated cost of Adoption from the Congo is between $30,000-$39,000. This includes home study,passports,training,US fees, Africa fees, and travel. 

Yes, its a crazy amount of money.

No, we do not make that kind of money.

No, we do not think that is a good enough reason not to adopt.

Yes, we do believe the Lord will provide this for us.


We definitely don't expect all of this to be donated as we will do some fundraisers, yard sales, and pitch every penny we have to go towards bringing our son home.

Phase 1: For our first phase we plan to save/raise the cost of our first big expense in our process. Which is the home study fee ($1700.00-$2,000.00) and our first payment to our agency to begin our process. ($4,300.00)  There are grants and tax credits that we will be able to use and apply for. There are also low interest loans that we can use if that is needed. 


Ways you can join us

It is our desire to keep you posted on all the details of our process. So you can celebrate with us and join in our excitement. We are beyond thankful for our friends and family that have already supported us through your prayers, words of encouragement, and giving. So here are a few ways that you can continue to join with our family through our journey. 

Pray: We covet your prayers. We have been praying for this child that we do not know for some time now. Only our Lord knows every detail of this process. We ask for your prayers for patience, as for only He knows the perfect will and timing of bringing our son home.  

Follow: Stay updated with our process on this blog, call us, email us, or facebook us. (timbeth0608@yahoo.com)

Give: If you feel led and would like to donate, even $10 towards our fundraising goal. Each dollar is a blessing and will bring us one step closer to bring our son home. 

Share: Feel free to share this blog with your friends and family. 

We already feel so blessed by the kind words of encouragement and we feel your prayers as we have already been blessed by many of you. I hope to keep this updated as much as I can between school work, house work, and taking care of our kiddos. 

Thank you again your support!!

Tim, Beth, Callie, Nolan, Jayden, and our little Congo boy
