Braden & Emily Picardi

June 22, 2024 | Telford, PA
Emily and Braden have always known that adoption would be how they grew their family and are eager to serve and love little ones needing family. Early in their marriage they hosted international students and enjoyed getting to know new cultures and languages as they built relationships with these students long term. Last summer it became clear that their season of hosting had come to an end and it was time to focus on growing their own family through adoption. They were drawn to the culture and language in Latin America and found great joy and peace in pursuing international adoption from there, having had so many multicultural experiences previously.

1-2 Children

Orphan(s) | Colombia

Emily and Braden are eager to grow their family through the adoption of 1-2 school aged children from Colombia. Having started the process last summer, they're now awaiting approval from Colombia's government to be matched with specific children. They hope to be matched with 1-2 school aged children whose needs can be accommodated attending the school that Emily works in, and knitting them into a safe and warm community of close friends and church family there.

The loss of a beloved spouse often makes it difficult for a widow to keep up with the needed repairs and improvements to her home. We are excited to bless a widow in our community in a big way!

We don’t take a penny out of the funds raised for adoption or orphan care 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.
