meet the families
Every family’s adoption story is different.
And every family faces different challenges or barriers along the way. As our founders like to say, the adoption journey is “gloriously hard”.
Through Adoption Aid grants, Show Hope helps to break down one barrier in particular—the financial barrier. As you help make these grants possible through your giving, you can also follow the stories of a few of the families impacted and come alongside them in prayer.
Our Families
The Thomsons
Kristen and Jimmy Thomson are currently pursuing their second domestic adoption. In 2021, their family received a Show Hope Adoption Aid grant that helped bring their son home. They are grateful to have been awarded another Show Hope Adoption Aid grant as they step forward in faith once again. The Thomsons are excited to grow their family and deeply appreciate the prayers during this journey.
The Stubelts
Abigail and Jared Stubelt have had adoption on their hearts since the beginning of their relationship. With the help of a Show Hope Adoption Aid grant, the Stubelts are currently in the process of adopting from the country of India. They are trusting the Lord on this journey and are excited to welcome a child home.
The Amerines
Lauren and Travis Amerine previously received Show Hope Adoption Aid grants to help bring two of their children home through adoption. In 2026, they were awarded a Show Hope Medical Care grant for their son Abram’s vision therapy.
The Crouches
Kim and Stephen Crouch were awarded a Show Hope Medical Care grant in 2026. Their daughter, Millie Joy, was welcomed home through adoption. This grant will be going toward Millie Joy’s surgeries, medical equipment, post-surgery therapies, and extensive medical travel.
