Landon & Elisabeth Ridpath

May 17, 2025 | Grand Forks , ND

Landon and Elisabeth met in college and have been married since July 7, 2018. They had many conversations about the potential of adopting one day during their dating years but it wasn’t until 3 years into infertility issues that they discovered God was perhaps ordaining this to come sooner than they expected! They have each always wanted to be a parent and, since meeting each other, have become so excited to witness one another become a parent as well.

**The first $4,000 donated to this project will be matched!!**

Landon and Elisabeth have completed all the steps toward bringing their little one home - all that's left is to wait for a match with a birth mom!

Widow | North Dakota

From Ms. Betty: "I suddenly became a widow five years ago after 52 years of marriage. Adoption is a very meaningful part of our family’s story as my two youngest grandchildren were added to our family via adoption. It has enriched our lives to welcome these two precious little ones into our hearts. I love spending time with them and have become passionate about helping other families grow through adoption." We are so excited to serve Ms. Betty with our project!

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.
