Funding Love was founded in 2018 after Founder Malorie Elrod and her husband, Tim, experienced the adoption process to bring home their fourth child. While they were pleased to find there were many resources available to help families navigate adoption on the front end, there was not much available to help families after last names have changed, the Honeymoon phase was over and real life began.
Funding Love exists to serve each corner of the adoption triad (the adoptee, adoptive family and the birth family) post-adoption by letting them know they are seen, supported and loved.
Funding Love became an official 501c3 in 2018, when it launched its first Adoptive Family Program. After three years of growth and several successful Funding Love Vacations serving more than ten adoptive families, Funding Love launched its Birth Mom Program in 2021, with fellow adoptive mom, Katelyn Duckworth, at the helm.
