Ray & Sherrill Batts

May 3, 2025 | Durham, NC
We have always hoped to raise a big family, and we believe God has called us to grow our family through adoption. Our family of three enjoys trips to the beach and the mountains, time with our close extended family, and attending church. We have backgrounds in teaching and nursing. As parents, it’s important to us to teach our children kindness, love, humility toward others, and to make the most of each day
**The first $3,000 donated to this project will be matched!!**

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.
