So Jed and I have been back and forth about what to do to get the funds together for our adoption and know that we have family and friends out there who love us and would love to help us through this. So my good friend, Katie Gillam at https://katiegillam.scentsy.us/Home has graciously offered to do a Scentsy fundraiser for our adoption! All of the proceeds with go 100% to our adoption expenses! So please share this with your mom, your sister, your crazy aunt, and any body else you can think of!
There is also a link to the side of the page to send you straight to our adoption fundraiser!!!
Thank you all in advance and please continue to pray for our family in this journey!

We would like to formally announce....
The Hunnicutt family would like to formally announce that we are adopting!!! WOW! I said it! We are adopting... After dealing with infertility, our family has decided to turn to the wonderful gift of adoption. We wanted to expand our family and just had to figure out the way for that to happen. God has definitely opened the doors for adoption and here we are!
We are just now starting the home study process which involves TONS of paperwork, background checks, references, physicals, and more paperwork! Basically they are just verifying that Jed and I can be good adoptive parents. This process will take a few weeks to complete, but after we are approved we will begin the long road to saving the funds we need to adopt. We have found an adoption facilitator to work with and help us find our baby, but we are not going to sign our family contract until we have the funds to adopt. We have become debt free and are not planning to change that with the adoption. We know debt free adoption can be done and we will do it!
Once we sign our contract with our adoption facilitator, we will start preparing a family profile to show potential birth mothers. Once we are picked by a birth mother, we can either accept or decline her offer. This could take one month or it could take a couple years. We know it will all happen in God’s timing, we just hope we will be able to see it easily.
That being said, we would be so grateful if you could pray for us. Pray for our future child. Pray for the birth parents. Pray for Jed, Hayden, and I. Pray that we will be able to diligently save our money and that I can find a job to help supplement our income. We know that God has everything worked out for us and will trust that we can see that no matter what. We know that adoption is not an easy path and thankful we have such a wonderful family to help us through!
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. And please share the news with everyone! We will need as many prayer warriors as we can get!!! This is a new and exciting journey for us and we cannot wait to see where it takes us!
