Sander Family Donations



Our family is thrilled to be welcoming a new addition through adoption very soon! This exciting news comes with some unexpected financial challenges.

To provide our child with our full attention, one of us has transitioned to a stay-at-home role. Additionally, a career change necessitates a temporary period of reduced income. While this new position offers long-term advantages like family health insurance, the initial stages will present financial hurdles.

We've already received incredible support and made significant progress towards adoption. However, legal fees associated with the second phase, including lawyer retention and home study renewal, have resulted in some debt. Additionally, day-of-birth expenses are looming.

Essentially, our current income has stopped temporarily while expenses continue to accumulate.

Without creating an expectation of ongoing support, we want to share our current situation in case anyone feels called to contribute during this crucial time. No amount is too small, and any assistance would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness and well wishes.

Sincerely,


Sanders family

A Journey of Hope: From Abandonment to a Bright Future

  Subject: A Journey of Hope: From Abandonment to a Bright Future  Most people know we recently rescued a pup. While downtown Albany, we noticed him frantically looking around. A closer look revealed he was a young fellow, probably less than a year old. There he was—chained to a fence, his paws frozen from salt and ice. Even more heartbreaking was that he was covered in urine and shivering from the cold. Though a little afraid at first, he quickly realized I was there to help. In that moment, as a dad to two other pups, I didn’t need to make a further assessment. It was clear, without a doubt, this young guy had been abandoned. Pedestrians must have walked by for hours, giving him no attention. He sat there confused, freezing, and still hoping someone would come back. But they never did. No one came back.  Site of abandonment - Downtown Albany NY Animal control was advising that dogs like him be left to roam the streets, so that wasn’t an option. We also knew that shelter...

Sanders Family Adoption

  Sanders Family Seeking Private Adoption We were contacted by our friend’s church who recommended us for the private adoption of a newborn.  The church chose our home as the best match for this arrangement and we were very happy. However, when the delivery date approached, the birth mom and family refused to complete the necessary paperwork, retracted their  commitment, and  the arrangement ended abruptly.  To say we were shocked would be an understatement. We were devastated and surprised because the baby's family initiated this. We opened our hearts and did all the preparations we could. This required the contributions of many people. Various campaigns were set up such as a FundMe for legal costs, home study, and more. In addition, a number of individuals, including neighbors, friends, friends of friends, strangers (who have become friends), co-workers, and others, contributed gifts to ensure this would be a smooth transition.  It has been said that...

Hello, we've got some incredible updates to share with you!  And to start out, yes the photo for this post is a sonogram for soon to be born and adopted baby boy we have named Zion.  But first off, the amazing woman who has chosen us to adopt. We've been in touch with her for many weeks now, and let me tell you, it's been an absolute pleasure building a new relationship. From sharing precious pregnancy moments like sonogram photos and even getting to see how the baby moves in her belly, we're just overflowing with gratitude for her openness! In our previous adoption post, I wrote based on the theme "Imagine." which was centered around the approach of appealing to a mother seeking a home for a baby based on our Christian values, the facilities for a baby to grow, learn, and receive care, and more. From our perspective, it seemed these things would make us choosable and would be what mattered most to a mom. But that was before having this experience with a very ...
