Joey & Sallie Best

December 13, 2025 | Charlotte, NC

Even before we were married, we both agreed that one day we would want to grow our family through adoption. Having been surrounded by friends and church family who have adopted teenagers and babies, internationally and domestically, our hearts continued to grow toward this desire. After prayerfully considering how to grow our family almost 3 years ago, we felt the Lord calling us to adopt, and about a year later, in 2023, we welcomed sweet Noah (now almost 2 years old) into our home! Through knowing and loving his birth family, our hearts have continued to grow for the whole adoption triad and community. Because of this, we felt the Lord call us to grow our family once more through adoption. We know and have experienced the joys that adoption can bring, and can’t wait for Noah to have a sibling who can understand his experience so uniquely. We look forward to another opportunity to grow our extended family through knowing and loving your family!

**The first $4,000 raised by this project will be matched!**

While our story is still being written as we have not received placement yet, we are excited to be approved for a boy or girl aged newborn to two years old! We have a wonderful relationship with Noah's birth family and are praying for our next adoption to be open, so that we may love on their family as well.

Ms. Rachel

Widow | North Carolina

Ms. Rachel is a neighbor of ours, just a few doors down. We have gotten to know her over the 4 and a half years that we have lived in our neighborhood. She is such a sweet neighbor who loves the Lord, snicker doodle cookies, and she LOVES Noah. She also has a connection to adoption herself, as she adopted her daughter when she was only 10 months old. Ms. Rachel is planning to have some updates to her home soon, but needs some help cleaning out her sunroom and repairing it before contractors can come in to do the work. Our team will do some heavy lifting, organizing, repairing, and junk removal the day of our project to get her home ready for some updates she has planned!

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?

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.
