Adam & Jessica Bagwell
Our adoption journey began 13 years ago when we learned that parenting biologically would not be God’s plan for us. But even before that, when Jessica was in high school, God put a love for adoption in her heart through 2 mission trips to Nicaragua and through a family who had adopted from Romania. She didn’t know how the story would unfold but knew adoption would be a part somehow!
With a husband who shares the same love for adoption, we have become a part of 5 beautiful stories. We adopted our daughter, Madilyn in 2010. Our daughter, Rylee in 2013. Our son, Paxton in 2017. Our daughter, Emirsyn in 2021, and our son, Greyson in 2023!
Greyson
We adopted our daughter, Emirsyn in September of 2021. In the summer of 2022 we received a call from the adoption agency that Emirsyn’s birth parents were expecting a baby in February of 2023. The desire was to keep these siblings together. Greyson was born on February 8th. He spent 2 weeks in the NICU but is well on his way to being a healthy and thriving little guy!
Wanda
Wanda is my (Jessica's) mom’s cousin and has been a special part of our family for as long as I can remember. Wanda and her husband, James also have a heart for adoption. They fostered, and eventually adopted brothers when they were 6 months and 6 years old. Wanda’s husband went home to be with the Lord a little over 3 years ago after a brave battle with cancer. It would be our honor to give back to Wanda!
A Different Kind of Fundraiser
