Brian & Ana Lenoir

June 28, 2025 | Rio Linda, CA

One year after we got married and tried to conceive our first child, we got an infertility diagnostic and were told that was medically impossible for us to conceive a biological child. We would lie if we said it was easy; The truth is, it has been the hardest thing we both have ever experienced. It destroyed us at first, but we had each other and God to lean in and pull back up together. We are believers and our faith has a big place in our daily life. So is deep-rooted on us that for the child of God, everything works for good and we cling on to that promise. We believe He has always better plans for us than we do. We knew fairly quickly it wasn’t our call to pursue science to try to conceive, but to adopt.

**The first $4,000 donated to this project will be matched!!**

We are currently waiting to be matched with our future baby; We are home study approved and waiting to be chosen by a birth mom. We know that The Lord has already chose the baby that is meant to be ours. He has plan for the baby to be a Lenoir from the beginning of time, and we are on time to meet Him/Her.

Ms. Christina

Widow | California

Christina is 76 years old. Her loss story started in 2010 when one of her daughters died from cancer, and soon after that tragic event her husband was diagnosed with brain cancer and died in 2013. Christina said she lost part of her heart during those years, but Jesus and her surviving daughter and now her grandkids are everything to her. In 2022, Christina was riding her bike and had an accident that kept her in a coma for almost a week. She lost mobility in her right side and her speech ability. After a long recovery, she can talk and move around but her right side is still partially paralyzed. She spent about 2 years away from her home, but around 3 months ago she returned to her house. This house is not 100% safe for her mobility limitation, but we are so excited to come alongside her and help her house to host Christina better.

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.
