Gabe & Maddy Smith

October 24, 2026 | Louisville, KY

We have been married for 5 years and both serve as full time missionaries. Maddy started dreaming about adoption when she was a pre-teen. Gabe’s heart for adoption began before we even started dating. Our journey to this step hasn’t been one we expected but in the time where we were diagnosed with infertility and it seemed the darkest, God began to stir that the call to adopt was for now! What could have felt like a closing door to a dream of a family actually became something really clear and bright. For years now we have been praying and dreaming of our baby. And we are so excited to see how God moves!

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

Domestic Adoption | United States

We are pursuing a domestic adoption. Our desire is for every baby born to know they are loved, chosen and belong! The paperwork is completed, and our home study is approved. We have been praying and are waiting in anticipation for the day that we receive our match.

Widow | Kentucky

The loss of a beloved spouse often makes it difficult for a widow to keep up with the needed repairs and improvements to her home. We are excited to bless a widow in our community in a big way!

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.
