Why Peyton’s Promise?
Roger, Lisa, Dylan, Peyton & Greyson Saline
Our Story
Dylan was born without a hitch. When he turned two, we began trying for a second child. After five years of infertility, eight rounds of IVF, and two heartbreaking miscarriages, we made the decision to pursue adoption.
Our Blessing
After completing the lengthy adoption process and being added to the placement book, we received a life-changing call: a baby girl had just been born, and her birth mother had chosen us. Just like that, our family grew—and we couldn’t have been more thrilled.
Three years later, we received another unexpected gift: we were pregnant. Our son, Greyson, was born healthy and strong.
Peyton’s Promise
Through our journey, we learned firsthand how expensive adoption can be. Inspired by our daughter, we founded Peyton’s Promise to help more children find their forever families and more families experience the joy we have.

“Peyton’s Promise changed our lives by bridging the financial gap we faced in adopting Matthew. We knew we wanted to adopt for awhile, but the financial hurdle was the biggest obstacle we faced. When we discovered The Gift of Adoption, we were so excited that resources such as these existed. We applied and very quickly received notification that we were awarded a grant. We were absolutely thrilled. With the grant we received from Peyton’s Promise, we were able to lessen the gap between what we had and what we owed and, in addition, got a huge boost to our faith. Almost all the expenses have been paid now and it wouldn’t have been nearly as easy without the help of Peyton’s Promise. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your wonderful generosity. God bless you for the work you’ve done for us and for the work you’ll do for other forever families.”
