Justin & Emily Rouse
Justin and Emily Rouse have been married for 3.5 years. They have two labradoodles, Olive and Iris. They have always had a heart for adoption, but really started to feel God’s calling to take action in the fall of 2020. They have seen God’s faithfulness throughout this whole process, and they know He will continue to provide, as He has called them to this. They are so honored that He is trusting them with this, and are so excited for this next step in their lives.
Waiting Child
We are adopting from Vietnam, but have not yet been matched with a child. We are praying over our future child and their birth country. We cannot wait to make Vietnamese culture a part of our home.
Our fundraising goal for this project is $8,000, but we expect our adoption to cost around $45,000 total. This will help greatly with travel expenses and final costs of the adoption. Thank you ALL for your generosity! We pray that you realize how God is using you in such a way that we are able to make our lifelong dream a reality of becoming parents.
Memaw (Barbara)
Barbara is who we have the honor of serving. She is Emily's Memaw. She was a dedicated nurse for over 50 years up until her retirement at the age of 77 in March of 2021. We lost Papa last July. They lived in their home for over 40 years. Now Memaw realizes it's time to downsize and make things easier for this next season of life, as hard as it may be. We are so excited to come together as family and friends to serve our Memaw whom we deeply love.
A Different Kind of Fundraiser
A team of volunteers is completing a service project of fixing up a widow's home. We are raising sponsorship for our day of service. The funds raised will help an orphan to become adopted into a forever family. Will you sponsor us?

Both Hands does not charge an administrative fee and raises its operating support separately. Donors that supply their email will receive a tax receipt upon donation.

No Administration Fees
We don’t take a penny out of the funds raised for adoption or orphan care projects for ourselves.
We are committed to doing everything we can to help our Both Hands families afford adoption. That’s why we don't take out any administrative fees from donations to our projects. If a donor chooses not to cover the credit card and processing fees, Both Hands will cover it to ensure 100% of the gift supports the cause.
We raise funds for our operations separately through support from donors like you. By supporting Both Hands, you help us serve more adoptive families, bless more widows, and bring even more children into their forever families.
