John & Christi Gardner
Our hearts for adoption grew through our experiences fostering both a teenager and an infant. Through those relationships, God opened our eyes to the profound privilege of providing a child with a safe, loving, and permanent family. As Christians, our faith is at the center of our marriage and our decision to adopt. We feel deeply called to grow our family through adoption and are excited to follow where God is leading us.
**The first $3,000 donated to this project will be matched!**

Baby Gardner
While we haven’t met Baby Gardner yet, we are prayerfully waiting for the child God has chosen for our family. We are home-study approved, working with an adoption consultant, and registered with Christian Family Services. We have applied for several placements and continue to trust God’s timing and direction. Our prayer is not simply for a match, but for the match that is His will for our family and our future child.
Ms. Pat
Ms. Pat is a beloved pillar of the community who has generously opened her lakeside home and property to neighbors, church groups, veterans, weddings, and even baptisms. After losing her beloved Richard "Dick" during COVID and enduring other tragedies, Ms. Pat has remained strong in her faith and generous to others. Our team is honored to give back by painting and staining walls of her cabin, landscaping her property, and helping declutter her home.
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.
