Al & Liz Marien

June 5, 2021 | Bryant, WI

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.

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 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.

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.
