HELP US ADOPT BABY MOIR!
Tory and Nathalie, the humans behind OLL Handcrafts, are very excited to be parents. We can’t wait to take our kid hiking in the Rocky Mountains, teach them how to sew and knit, do experiments with them in the kitchen, make sure they develop a love for coffee and tea, and read them all our favorite books. Our original plan was for Tory to carry our biological child. However, we learned that Tory has some fertility issues that are not easily resolved. You can read about the whole journey on our blog, gaybymakesthree.wordpress.com.
So then came decision time - would we keep trying to have a biological child, or should we start considering other routes to becoming parents? We attended an info night at an area adoption agency that has been around for over 30 years, and really liked what we heard. Their domestic adoption program is dedicated to helping adoptive parents with documented fertility issues adopt infants from Colorado birth parents. We decided that this sounded perfect for our family.

If you would like to support us, this is what you can do:
1) Send prayers, emotional support, and positive thoughts. The adoption process is long and stressful. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we go through the steps!
2) Share our story with anyone you like! We want to connect with other people with similar stories, and we want to be sure that the next parents going through the process have access to the information we’ve learned.
3) Help with funding. Adoption is expensive! The entire process is nearly $30,000. These fees contribute to: background and reference checks, home study, education classes and counseling, birth parent fees and hospital costs, and legal fees, to name a few.
How can you financially support us?
Any purchases of our craft and art on this website will go directly to our adoption fund. We are also taking donations through our GoFundMe page (www.gofundme.com/help-us-adopt-baby-moir).

Thank you so much for all your support, and please ask us any questions you like! We love talking about babies and reproductive systems and health care and social policy and adoption. No question will go unanswered.
Love, Nathalie and Tory
