Support for adoption from a mama who has been there.

Hey friends, Kari Bower here, owner and founder of Journey Well. As we were growing our family, God began opening our eyes to the needs around us. We became a host family for Safe Families for Children and took sweet kiddos into care as we raised our own. Then we became licensed foster parents. God kept refining us and helped us to be brave to answer a calling to pursue domestic infant adoption. We wanted a mama to know we would love her and her child no matter what. We prayed courageously for our birth mothers to choose life for their babies. God heard our prayers and orchestrated our adoptions. We chose adoption two times and we are forever changed because of it.

As an adoptive mom I have been there. I knew I wanted support to help me streamline the process. I found support and pointed families in that direction. Then one day I looked up those support services and checked in to see what they were charging families. I was shocked to discover these services were costing adoptive families $3,500-7,000!!! In good faith, I didn’t feel as if I could refer families any more to those services knowing families need to save on costs for their adoptions. That is when I felt an impression to offer the same type of support services for less than a quarter of what other consulting services were offering. I had already been helping families for years. That is what lead me to start Journey Well Adoption Support Services

I am a mom who cares. I want families to know what I learned after 15 years of figuring things out. At Journey Well you get a relationship. I am an adoptive mom with a passion to help families streamline the adoption process so you can get closer to the dream in your heart. My hope is affordability in my services. You will get support, information, education, resources and all that you need to get started, plus lots of prayer on your behalf. I’d love to connect with you by phone for a free 30 minute phone call so you can learn if Journey Well Adoption Consulting would be a good fit for your family!

The process of domestic infant adoption can very daunting. There is so much to know and so much to research. It can get confusing and overwhelming very quickly.

“We are so glad that we connected with Journey Well!

Kari was able to counsel, pray for, and support us on our way to adopting our beautiful baby girl.

The road to adoption can be a tough one to navigate, but Journey Well made it easier.

Through helping us learn about the process, connecting us with vetted agencies and assisting us with the applications, and being a prayer partner, Kari walked with us every step of the way.

We are so thankful that God led us to Journey Well!”

-Dylan and Kristen

After several years of waiting in adoption with a lot of heartache, our family was determined to only align our adoption pursuits with professionals who shared our passion and our faith.

That’s how we met Kari at Journey Well. The time and the resources that Kari provides to mentor hopeful adoptive families is exactly what needs to happen during an adoption pursuit. She offers wisdom into the process with personal insight, and is always accessible for questions and concerns. We are so grateful for her heart, and the genuine care she showed our family through all the ups and downs of our journey, to the finalization of the adoption of our son and beyond!
