Al & Liz Marien
Al and Liz (Seidl) Marien both grew up in Antigo and have been married for 8 years. They have always dreamed and planned on having a family, but, sometimes God has different plans than the ones you lay out. They have explored many routes and are active in the local area foster care program, but, have decided that adoption is the path God is revealing to them. The estimated cost to bring home their baby is $48,000.
A Waiting Child
Their path to adoption has had many twists and turns, and they greatly appreciate everyone’s support in helping them meet this dream of building their family.
Ms. Eileen
Ms. Eileen unexpectedly lost her husband Gary in 2019, whom was loved by many. Both Gary and Eileen have been very active Antigo community members through their lives. Gary volunteered and advocated for a long list of groups within town, including St. John’s parish where they were lifelong members. Eileen continues her dedication to service through multiple roles within their church, and volunteering with Living Waters International - Aid for African Catholic Missions, whom she’s traveled with to East Africa four times.
