SunshineAndShade exists to support families who are courageously saying YES to God’s calling through adoption.

Adopting an infant in the United States through an agency costs an average of $55,000–$70,000. These expenses include birth mother support (monthly housing, food, transportation, medical care), legal fees, agency fees, and travel. When a family is matched, the majority of these funds are required immediately — often within days.

For many families, this is where the journey stops.

Not because they aren’t called.
Not because they aren’t ready.
But because the finances aren’t there.

OUR MISSION:

We exist to fill the gap — so adoption is never delayed or denied because of money.

Our goal for 2026 is to raise $250,000, allowing us to provide direct financial support to 12 adopting families this year.

That means:

Families can say YES without hesitation
Children can come home sooner
The burden of finances is lifted in one of the most critical moments
Birth mothers get the immediate needs met of housing/food/medical etc.

WHY THIS MATTERS

We believe in being The Church- the hands and feet of those in need. Caring for children and families in real, tangible ways.

This isn’t just about funding adoption.

It’s about:

Removing barriers to obedience
Supporting birth mothers with dignity and care
Standing in the gap for families stepping out in faith

When you give, you are not just donating.

You are helping bring a child into a forever family.

Beyond Adoption

SunshineAndShade also serves families through:

Back-to-school support
Christmas sponsorships
Emergency financial assistance for families in crisis

Anything raised beyond our adoption goal allows us to expand our reach and serve even more families in need.
