Theodore
Kansas
Thank you so much for your organization's generous and heartfelt gift of a grant for our adoption! We are so excited and grateful, and this gift will make a huge difference in our family finances.
We have been so blessed by Theo's presence in our lives - he is just starting to smile and we can't wait to watch his personality grow and develop!
MaKenna - Indiana
From the bottom of my heart, I would like to sincerely express my deepest gratitude! This grant not only helped me grow my family, but also allowed me to pay a balance during our hospital stay. The entire team and staff were very professional and responsive throughout the entire process.
Please continue doing the amazing work that you do to support families!
Josephine - South Dakota
We are beyond grateful and so appreciative of everyone at A Child Waits Foundation. Every person we were in contact with was so kind, supportive, and helpful throughout the whole process.
Ryan & I have always dreamed of being parents and after 11 years of infertility treatments all ending in disappointments, we prayed and prayed. God kept sending us signals to adopt. We started the adoption process in the fall of 2020 and were finalizing our Home Study when we found out our agency was closing. We got transferred to another agency across the state, got everything completed and our profile was out in the summer of 2021. We waited and prayed for two years. In June of 2023; our prayers were answered when the sweetest 5lb 5oz blue-eyed little girl was born. All the heartache we endured went away that day.
The grant we received was such a huge blessing and we are so very thankful for everyone at A Child Waits Foundation. Thank you so very much!!!
Riglee - Arizona
We would like to thank A Child Waits Foundation for their assistance at the end of our adoption journey. We were prepared at the beginning of our journey with fundraisers and a list of grants.
A Child Waits accepted us as an applicant early in our process and told us to keep them posted as we continued on our journey. Once we were matched and placed with our son, Riglee, they sent our application to the board to see if we would be awarded a grant. Just when we thought we were going to have to fundraise more we received their phone call that they had awarded us a grant that would cover our final legal fees.
We are forever grateful to A Child Waits and look forward to working with them and supporting them in the future.
Jesse - Florida
Thank you so much for the very generous grant! We cannot adequately express in words how grateful we are for A Child Waits Foundation coming alongside us and helping financially with our adoption.
We cannot imagine our family without our sweet boy; Jesse was our missing puzzle piece. Our hearts are full of gratitude and love.
We are grateful to have you all as part of our journey! Your support means so much to our family!
Kameron - Florida
Kam is doing wonderfully. When we got him on May 31st he wasn’t saying any words. Within days he was saying mama and daddy. Now he has a number of words and just started saying “love you!” He always has a smile on his face and something hilarious to laugh at.
August - Wisconsin
Thank you for our adoption grant!
We had 8 days to prepare for AJ’s birth while Courtney was transitioning to a new job. Then Dana stayed home with him for the first few months. This made finances extremely tight while prioritizing our newborn baby.
Our total adoption expenses were ~$38k. This gift has helped tremendously with attorney & agency fees!
We are over the moon to announce the official adoption of our baby August Jean!
Savi - Florida
I am so grateful to A Child Waits for hearing my story and offering support. I was awarded a grant that I am so very thankful for. Having an extra bit of funds helped to ease the financial burden that comes along with adoption and made it possible for me to bring home my baby boy in July.
I am adopted myself, so being able to adopt my son just made life make more sense. He is happy, healthy, and thriving, and I thank A Child Waits for helping to make this possible for myself and my family.
