Help Us Bring Home Baby #3
We’re growing our family again—sooner than expected—and we need your help.
In 2022, your support helped bring our daughter Rylee home. This February, we took placement of our son Kayce and are eagerly awaiting our court date in July 2025 to finalize his adoption! And now—just months later—we’ve been given another beautiful, unexpected gift: the chance to adopt once again.
In May, Rylee’s birth mother, reached out with incredible news—she is pregnant with another baby and wants us to adopt him. Without hesitation, we said yes. We are humbled and honored that she would choose us again, and we can’t wait to welcome this new life into our home. Baby boy is due early September, and we’re doing everything we can to prepare.
But with this third adoption happening so quickly after Kayce’s, we haven’t had the time to financially recover. The cost of this adoption will be $60,000—and while that number feels overwhelming, we believe in a God who provides and a community who rallies.
How You Can Help
Whether it’s $5 or $500, every dollar brings us one step closer to bringing our son home. Your generosity directly covers legal fees, agency costs, support for birth mom, travel, and post-placement care.
We’ve seen firsthand the power of community and prayer—and we’re asking, once again, will you partner with us?
This isn’t just about growing our family. It’s about saying “yes” to a brave birth mother’s selfless choice. It’s about saying “yes” to a little boy who is already deeply loved. And it’s about believing, even in uncertainty, that love always makes room.
Thank you for walking with us. We couldn’t do this without you.
With love,
Dan & Tyler
Ways to partner with us
If you feel led to partner with us, there are two meaningful ways to help bring our baby boy home: you can donate directly to our adoption fund via Venmo (@danbeltran) or Zelle (beltran.dan5@gmail.com), or book one of our special mini photo sessions, where 100% of the proceeds will go toward adoption expenses. Every gift—whether financial or through your support of our work—makes a real and lasting impact, and we’re so grateful to have you on this journey with us.

Together — A Word That Means Everything to Us
We’re launching a limited run of Together T-shirts and hats to help bring our third baby home! The word Together holds special meaning in our family — it reflects the heart of this adoption journey. Together, we can bring this baby home. Together, we can raise the funds needed. Together, we can give this child a life full of love, opportunity, and hope. It’s also one of Rylee’s favorite words — she joyfully shouts “Together!” whenever we go on adventures or spend time as a family.
When you wear your Together shirt or hat, you’re not only supporting our adoption — you’re standing with us in this story of faith, love, and community. We couldn’t do this without you.
Registry
We didn't require much for Kayce since we had plenty from Rylee that we could repurpose; however, given that Kayce and baby #3 will be so close in age, there are a few necessities we'll need.
