Rachel & Andrew Schussler

May 30, 2026 | Knoxville, TN

We have been married for 2 1/2 years, but it already feels like a lifetime of laughter, fun, and adventures together. We knew from the beginning that we wanted to be parents and have the opportunity to share our love of each other and the Lord with our future children. After an unexpected diagnosis last year, the Lord has shown us that He plans to use adoption to grow our family.

**The first $3,000 donated to this project will be matched!**

Domestic Adoption | United States

Throughout our lives God has surrounded us with beautiful pictures of adoption. Rachel's three little brothers were adopted as newborns. The friends that introduced us have adopted twin girls. Multiple mentors through our church adopted their own children or were adopted themselves. It is a blessing to be surrounded by images of what we hope and pray for. We are currently home study ready and are looking to match with a birthmother for newborn adoption.

Friend in Need | Tennessee

Mike and Janelle have been married since 1997. They adopted their daughter, Dasha, from Russia at the age of 4. Dasha and her two young daughters live with Janelle. Mike has advanced stage Lewy Body Dementia and lives in a memory care facility close by. We met Janelle through our church and are excited to serve her and her family. We plan to do landscaping work in the front and back yards along with some minor interior repairs.

A Different Kind of Fundraiser

A team of volunteers is completing a service project of fixing up a friend in need'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.
