Adam & JoLynn Norlander

October 13, 2024 | Strum, WI
Adam and JoLynn both work at their church. He is the pastor, and she leads music. JoLynn also schools her daughter at home and loves all things art. Adam loves the outdoors and served in the military. They have been married 20 years this September, and have one daughter, Jasmine. They adopted her when she was an infant and are eagerly awaiting their next child(ren). Last year they went through a failed adoption of twin girls, and are remaining hopeful and trusting the Lord in their own adoption story. As this adoption has been longer than expected, the continued costs rise and so we are grateful to be able to bless them and Tammy through this Both Hands Project.

Domestic Adoption | United States

Once they match through their agency, they will need to travel to the state where the child is born. They are not sure which state that will be yet, and will stay there for 1-4 weeks until the child is ready to travel and cleared by that state to leave. This makes the costs unknown as they can vary greatly depending on the state and other factors.

Tammy

Widow | Wisconsin

Tammy lost her loving husband Tom in 2023. She is one of the most giving people. She cares for her amazing special needs nephew and helps at church in the children's department as the Ministry Assistant. She is kind, thoughtful, and tender in her love for the Lord and others. We feel honored to be able to bless her while serving in her home with some projects.

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.
