Brian & Grace Baeten

October 25, 2025 | Suring, WI

Hi! We’re the Baeten Family! We’re so thankful to be working with Both Hands to raise money toward our adoption. Building our family has been a journey that spans over a decade, and our family has the two precious boys you see in the photo, and also 13 babies in heaven. We are grateful to be finishing our family through adoption and are praying for God’s provision as we wait to bring our baby girl home.

**The first $3,000 donated to this project will be matched by Both Hands and an additional $8,000 will be matched Lifesong for Orphans and We Care for Orphans for a total of $11,000 matched!!**

Volunteering for project day? Be sure to sign your volunteer waiver here ahead of time so we can get straight to serving on the big day!

Domestic Adoption | United States

Adoption has been on our hearts since we first started dating—long before we knew having biological children would be nearly impossible. We were really drawn to the idea of giving a child in need a stable, loving home. Because we’re adopting out of state, the total cost is estimated to be $63,000-65,000. But we’ve seen God work in the impossible before, and we believe He will provide again. We can’t wait to welcome our baby girl home, surround her with love, and point her to Jesus—she’ll also have the best big brothers!

Ms. Shirley

Widow | Wisconsin

Shirley is a sweet lady from our church. She and her husband, William, were married for over 62 years! He passed away about 8 years ago, and it’s been difficult for Shirley to maintain her flower beds over the last several years. She has been praying someone would be able to help take care of them. We are so excited to restore her pond, make her yard come to life again and put a smile on her face!

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 a child 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.
