Eli & Teresa Brunette
Hi, we are Eli and Teresa Brunette. We are a Catholic family answering God’s call to adopt. Prior to our marriage, we both agreed that adoption is a beautiful means of creating a family, and was at that time something we were interested in pursuing. We believe every child deserves to be in a loving home. As a couple we have struggled with infertility, which has only affirmed our initial intentions. We are so excited to be pursuing bringing a child of God into our home to be cherished.
**The first $10,500 donated to this project will be matched!** ($3,000 from Both Hands, $3,000 from Lifesong for Orphans, and $4,500 from We Care for Orphans)
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!
Baby Brunette
We have an approved home study and are a current family with Adoption Services of Spokane. We are prayerfully awaiting to be matched with a birth mom.
Ms. Doreen
Doreen was married for 41 years before the passing of her husband nine years ago. A devoted mother of eight children, seven of whom are living, she has dedicated her life to her faith and family. She is the proud mother of two sons who have served in the Army and one who has served in the Navy. She is also deeply honored that one of her grandchildren has discerned a calling to the priesthood and is preparing for ordination through the local seminary.
For much of her life, Doreen devoted herself to raising her family as a stay-at-home mother. After the loss of her husband, she courageously returned to the workforce and faithfully served for eight years in the kitchen at Riverview.
Above all, Doreen is a devout Catholic whose life is rooted in a deep love for Jesus Christ and the Blessed Mother Mary. Her strength, faith, and commitment to serving others continue to be a blessing to all who know her, and we are excited to reciprocate her giving nature.
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.
