Tyshawn and Destiny
We're looking to adopt a baby
Hello, we are Tyshawn and Destiny! Thank you for choosing to hear our story and learning more about us as prospective parents.
Our story began in college, as 18-year-olds who just so happened to fall in love. We quickly became best friends first through all-nighters and study sessions. Once our friendship was secured the love story took place very easily. Fast forward 8 years later, 2 degrees, and a lot of fun memories we got engaged! Soon after we got married and we attempted to grow our family. We were told by physicians that we would not be able to conceive a biological child after a few failed attempts. While this hurt us deeply, we knew that there were other options for us to pursue our dream of parenthood.
Children have always been an important part of our lives, from working in education to our posse of nieces and nephews. Now, we are so excited and beyond blessed to experience parenthood through an adoption plan.
Financial Support
Expectant mothers who choose to make an adoption plan may qualify for some level of financial assistance during their pregnancy. However, each person's situation and specific needs are different. Your adoption social worker can help you determine what level of assistance you qualify for and deserve. Many expectant mothers qualify for financial assistance to cover basic pregnancy and living expenses, including but not limited to - transportation reimbursement, utility assistance for phone, water, and electricity/gas, maternity clothing and supplements, etc.

Navigating a pregnancy alone is never easy. Depending on your situation and location, you may qualify for financial assistance to help cover the cost of basic living expenses, such as food and groceries.
Medical Expenses
Receiving quality medical care during your pregnancy is vital to both your health and the health of your baby. If you choose to place your baby for adoption, all of your pregnancy-related medical expenses will be covered by the adoptive family.
Rent & Utilities
Women who choose to place their baby for adoption may receive financial assistance to help cover the cost of rent and utilities. If you feel that you'll need some help with these costs, it's important to talk to your adoption social worker about it early in the process.
Household Items
In order to have a healthy pregnancy, it's important that you have everything you need to lead a healthy lifestyle. The cost of some household items may be covered during your pregnancy.
Counseling
Placing a baby for adoption is a loving but incredibly challenging decision. Many women experience a range of emotions during this time and find that counseling is very helpful.
Transportation
If you need assistance with transportation, your adoption social worker can help you find the best solution. You may be eligible for help with transportation costs.
