Hi, we’re the Barker family!
We are working hard to raise funds to begin the adoption process for
a stepparent adoption. Scroll through our page to read our story,
see our past & current fundraisers, and learn how you can help
if you feel led to do so.
(Donation section at the bottom of the page!)
Little souls find their way to you whether they're
from your womb or someone else's.
-Sheryl Crow
I'm Anna! I've had the joy of raising my husband’s daughter as my own, and we share a very strong bond. Now, we’re working to make that relationship LEGALLY official through adoption.
She has faced uncertainties that no child should have to go through, and we want to provide stability and consistency in her life. She’s safe, loved, and part of my family, and adoption will simply formalize what we’ve already been living every day — a life together as a family while giving us all peace of mind.
Over the past few months, we’ve tried several fun ways to raise funds for our adoption journey, and we are so grateful for the support we’ve received.

Unfortunately, this is only for our local area (Cookeville, TN)
I know it’s still spooky season but with stores getting ready for Christmas - so are we!
This year we are offering Christmas present wrapping services! We are in no way professionals, so this is a pay-what-you-can service. If you don’t like wrapping presents, aren’t good at it, or don’t have time, we can help! All donations go toward our adoption fees!
If you’re interested, all you have to do is:
-Drop off your unwrapped gifts at my house. (I can pick up / drop off with a small travel fee)
-You can provide boxes, name tags, wrapping paper and bows ..
Or we can go grab them for you! We’ll just invoice you the material costs.
-Be sure to have a list of names for gifts & which paper goes on what gifts so we know what is what!
This is done on a first come first serve basis. We will try to serve as many people as we can! If you have
any questions, let us know! We hope to be of some help to you and yours this holiday season!
We are offering this as early as Nov. 7 through Dec. 23
Feel free to message us here or call / text (931)644-2347
We have been quoted a $5k retainer to simply begin the process & ANOTHER retainer If the matter is contested (and we know it will be!)
If you feel led to donate, we are currently taking donations via Cashapp, Venmo & I have also linked our GoFundMe.
GoFundMe takes out fees but I know some people are more comfortable donating there!
If you cannot or do not wish to donate - your shares & prayers are
very much appreciated!! Thank you for your support!
