Jackson & Hannah Canfield
We met at our church in Nashville and married not long after (when you know, you know) in 2022. Six months later, Jackson’s job moved us to Florida’s Panhandle, where we fell in love with the lifestyle and knew we wanted to raise a family. Even while dating, we talked about our shared hope that the Lord would one day open the door for adoption. With Hannah’s dad being adopted, it has always been close to her heart. After a difficult and refining journey through infertility, God graciously made the path forward clear. Adoption wasn’t a backup plan for us—it was the plan He had written all along. We could not feel more honored to step into this season that so beautifully reflects the heart of the gospel. We cannot wait to welcome this child and spend our lives reminding them how deeply loved, special, and chosen they are.
**The first $3,000 donated to this project will be matched!!**

Baby Canfield
The week of our home study, we were matched with the very first case shown to us — something we don’t take for granted as anything less than a miracle. The circumstances are tender and not without challenges, yet in every new detail we have seen God’s hand at work. We believe wholeheartedly that He is already shaping a powerful testimony in this child’s life. More than anything, we ask for your prayers for this precious baby’s protection, for their birth parents, and for peace as we wait to welcome our little Christmas miracle home in December. Our total estimated adoption costs are approximately $55,000+
Dianne
Dianne was happily married to her husband, Jim, for nearly 39 years. Jim, a Vietnam Army veteran stationed in Taiwan, passed away on August 6th, 2025. This was later to be discovered the very same day that Jackson and Hannah were matched with their child, a beautiful God-moment connecting two life-changing events.
Jim was described by Dianne as “the kindest man I had ever known”. A man of faith, a musician who loved playing drums, and someone who carried a quiet, patient, and gentle spirit. He was deeply loved by his community and had a gift for remembering everyone by name.
Dianne devoted her career to teaching English at Davidson Academy in Nashville, TN, where she was not only cherished by her students but also recognized nationally for her impact as an educator, receiving the 2009 NCTE High School Teacher of Excellence award.
We are so honored to serve Dianne, helping meet practical needs while also celebrating the incredible legacy she and Jim built together.
