Craft Family Adoption

We are Justin and Tella Craft.  For 22 years, God has been shaping our story together, and for 14 years of marriage, He has grown our family in ways we could not have imagined. Our home is filled with three lively boys, steady routines, shared faith, and a deep belief that family is both a gift and a calling.

From the very beginning of our marriage, adoption has been part of that calling. Adoption has been on our hearts since before we were married. It is woven into our extended family and close friendships, and over the years we have walked alongside many loved ones through their own adoption journeys. We have always believed that one day, our family would grow this way.

That day has come.

We are currently waiting for our I-800A approval, which will allow us to move forward by sending our dossier to Colombia. Once our adoption is approved and we are cleared to travel, we will spend approximately two months in Colombia to complete the final steps and bring our daughter home.  We will be traveling together as a family during that time, bringing our boys with us as we begin this new chapter.

International adoption involves significant expenses, including agency fees, legal costs, immigration processing, travel, and extended lodging abroad. While we are committed to investing personally and making sacrifices to make this possible, the financial responsibility of two months overseas for our entire family is substantial.

We understand that adoption begins with loss, and we are committed to offering patience, stability, compassion, and lifelong support. Our boys are eagerly preparing their hearts, and we are surrounded by a strong community and professional resources to help us navigate this journey well.

If you feel led to support us — whether through prayer or financial giving — we are deeply grateful.  For transparency, all funds raised will go directly to our adoption agency for adoption expenses — no funds will go to us personally.   

We recognize that this is ultimately the Lord’s work, and we trust Him to provide in the ways He sees fit. Thank you for standing with our family as we take this step of faith.

With love and gratitude, Justin & Tella
