Dear Hand in Hand,

We want to thank you so much for the way you partnered with us in our adoption process. The money we received from you and through you was a huge step forward in our adoption. We are so grateful for your ministry. We also appreciated how quick and efficient you were with your matching grant procedure. It was so timely for us! We hope that you have a Merry Christmas and we pray that God will less your ministry!

With thankful hearts,

Tim, Katy & kids

Dear Hand in Hand Board,

We are so thankful for the blessing of your organization. Your willingness to provide a matching grant to aid us in paying for our adoption expenses has allowed us to raise thousands of dollars. We cannot express to you how this outpouring of love from our friends and family along with your generous gift has demonstrated to us how God's Kingdom is at work in the world.

Please join us in praying for the birth parents of our future child and for peace and hope as we wait.

With much love,

Nathan and Julie

To the Hand in Hand Board:

In the summer of 2008, we had a plan. Our plan was to save for IVF, go through the treatments and if IVF didn't work we would one day consider adoption. In October of 2009 we, almost reluctantly, met with a pregnant young lady. By the end of November, we knew God had changed our plans, that an adoption was much sooner than we'd originally thought.

A major concern we had however, was the financial aspect of adoption. How could we adopt this baby without draining the savings we'd acquired to help us take care of a child? We had to come to the point of deciding we'd obediently pursue the adoption and trust that God would meet our needs. I remember praying one evening, "we're running toward the cliff and preparing to jump, so you'd better either stop us or catch us".

Your gift of an adoption grant is one of the ways God has "caught" us. Thank you for your generous gift. Thank you for helping us fulfill our dream of parenthood.

The last 3 years have been a difficult journey for us but we are so very grateful that this journey has lead us to our new son. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

God Bless,

Donnie and Erin

Dear HANDinHAND Board,

Thank you so much for approving our family to receive an adoption grant. The grant was truly a blessing! We are so thrilled to have Jaylee become part of our family.
With Much Gratitude,

Hand in Hand came to the rescue for us. We were able to raise $2,800 and they matched it $ for $!!! They sent a check to our adoption agency in the amount of $5,700. That covered more than half of our expenses that were left. We have been trying to get Isaiah James home since June. He has hydrocephalus and is in dire need of surgery. He is two years old and can't even sit up. The longer it takes, the more neurological damage he will suffer. We give Hand in Hand a big hug and thanks for helping us. The process was easy and worked exactly the way Trudy said it would. Thanks to all the supporters who make this ministry possible.

We want to express our sincere gratitude to Hand In Hand for providing a matching grant to the donations from our family, friends, and church family to assist us with the expense of adoption. We are now the proud parents of beautiful Jaylee Grace. We cannot imagine our lives without her in our family. Hand In Hand helped make our adoption possible. Thank you so much!

What a great experience! Without Hand-in-Hand we would not have been able to fund our adoption. In looking for adoption funding sources we continually found grants that offered very limited funds and others that were limited to specific countries or medical needs, etc. Hand-in-Hand was an option that offered a large enough grant to really make a difference, did not place too many restrictions as to who would qualify, and at the same time made possible the giving from friends and family.

At first, we were a little nervous about sending out a letter asking for help in the matching grant process. Our anxiety, however, was soon replaced with joy as we received the letters of support from people who, not only shared their resources, but also shared the love of God as they wrote about their excitement about being part of bringing our daughter home. It turned out to be a great experience for all involved.

Thank you so much for your grace and generosity to our family. Without Hand-in-Hand, we would not have been able to bring Graceanah home.
