Ryan & Jamie Noll

November 11, 2023 | Holly, MI
Ryan and I have been married for 20 years. We have seven biological children, plus four in heaven. One of our children was born physically disabled. During one of her hospitalizations we learned that children like her are sometimes abandoned in hospitals. We imagined what it would be like for our daughter to be facing those hospitalizations without parents, and that showed us that we would be involved in special needs adoption someday in the future.

5-year-old Boy

Orphan | Bulgaria

For 17 months (and $16,000) we tried adopting a teenager in another country, which rejected our family because of the number of biological children we had, because I was a victim of abuse as a child, and because the child we were trying to adopt was “already very old.” Our agency tried to help us reverse the decision until she aged out. We are now matched with a five-year-old boy in Bulgaria!

Joanne

Widow | Michigan

Joanne was married to her husband, Greg, for nearly 40 years. They built the house we now live in, and they raised their family here! Joanne recently moved back to our town, and had been wondering how she would complete a landscaping project. We were delighted to surprise her with our offer through Both Hands, which she humbly accepted!

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?

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.
