Our Families:

We continue to keep up with Stephanie & Joseph, Jill & Charlie,  Brooke & Mathew, Brianna & Tyler, Jessica & Chris, Caryn & Sam, Abby & Josh, Nicole & Eric, and Kaylan & Jon. All of their babies are doing great! We ask for your continued prayers for 2 more families who are back in the process thanks to your generosity but are awaiting another match. Please keep them in your thoughts as they wait for another opportunity to grow their family.

We have an wonderful update to share from Maggie & Kaleb who welcomed a baby girl Millie in October after several disrupted matches. They have now finalized, officially becoming her parents!

"We are so grateful for the chance to share a little update on Millie! She is thriving — her growth and development have been nothing short of phenomenal, and we feel so blessed every single day. What started as a whirlwind NICU journey with our tiny 4 lb 2 oz girl has turned into watching a strong, joyful little one who continues to amaze us and everyone around her. We are also thrilled to share that we were able to officially finalize Millie’s adoption in March — a moment we will treasure forever. We are so deeply thankful for Disruptive Hope and all the love and support you have poured into our family throughout this journey. Millie is so loved!"

We also have an update from Danielle & Vince who met their daughter Emerson in September after 3 disrupted matches. She is loving life with her mom, dad, and big sister.

"Emerson just turned 10 months old and is growing so fast! She loves eating anything and everything but has now also discovered standing. A girl on the move - crawls everywhere, runs in her walker, trying her hardest to walk on her own :) She meets every stereotype of the second child! She is a force to be reckoned with and has no problem telling big sis when she wants one of her toys. She is saying mama, dada, and Adda (short for big sis Addy). She brings us so much joy and makes us laugh every day. We love her to pieces and are still so grateful!"

We also wanted to introduce you to someone new! Brittany & Trevor welcomed their son Kenton in May after experiencing a disrupted match. Your support gave them what they needed to try again.

"In working with Disruptive Hope, we were recipients of funds that made it a reality for us to become active again with agencies. In May, we received the surprising and most welcomed call about an already born baby boy whose birth mom had picked us to be his parents. We quickly made arrangements to get to him, and he was in our arms within days. It was a beautiful whirlwind of our story and journey coming full circle. We met birth mom and witnessed her deep love for our son after placement, and we were able to express gratitude personally for this life-long honor she granted us. The timing of his entrance into our family couldn’t have been orchestrated any better. His sweetness and smiles are unending. His big sisters are smitten. Our family feels more whole with him as a part. God redeemed us and our journey through many avenues, and Disruptive Hope was one of those. We will forever be grateful for the Disruptive Hope Network as it led us to one of our life's greatest joys."

Our Future:

As we look toward what's next for Disruptive Hope, we're always looking for opportunities to share our story, the stories of these families, and find more adoptive families to help. We're learning about the best ways to do this as we go and would love any advice you have to share at disruptive.hope.fund@gmail.com. Thank you all for your continued love and support!

With Love -
