Friends & Family -
With your support, 2022 gave us many reasons to celebrate! Here are some updates about our families, fund, and future. Our Families:
Our third family, Brianna and Tyler, brought home their baby boy Owen in November! We ask for your prayers as they get closer to finalization. To hear their story, please visit Tyler’s post. "Help from the Disrupted Hope Fund gave us confidence to move forward after our disrupted match. About 2 years after we began this journey, we were finally chosen. We are beyond grateful for Disruptive Hope's generosity not only financially, but emotionally in walking through the ups and downs. Going through this process wasn’t easy, but now we have our son and couldn’t imagine life without him."
We are thrilled to announce Stephanie and Joseph will be finalizing the adoption of Finn in February! This milestone means the adoption process is complete and they will legally be his parents. Check out Stephanie’s post explaining what your support means to them.
We ask for your continued prayers for our families who are still waiting on their next match. If you've experienced a disrupted match and would like to receive or provide emotional support, please see our post about the Disruptive Hope Support Network.
Our Fund: Thanks to your generosity, the Disruptive Hope Fund raised over $58,000 in 2022, helping 4 families return to process, leading to 3 successful placements and 1 finalized adoption. If you're interested in donating to help more families in 2023, please click below.
Our Future:
We arrived home with our sweet Luka at the end of October and have loved watching him grow! He’s 3 months old and loves flashing huge smiles, playing Superman, and cuddling with his pup Wally. Dan is refining his material in preparation for giggles. We had our first post-placement home visit in November with the final one scheduled for next month. We hope to finalize in Utah in April. Thank you all for the love and support!
With Love -
