Laura Bohnke

is adopting a child from Sierra Leone

*UPDATE*

As of January 24th, Mila (Emma Kate) is officially our DAUGHTER!!! We are finalizing her visa application and preparing for her exit interview at the embassy. We are SO VERY close to being able to fly over and bring her home!!! Travel cost will total about $6,000 for both of us to be able to pick her up together. This is for 2 round trip flights, her one-way flight, hotel, and ground transportation. Thank you for helping us get this far and continuing to be a huge part of her story.

Brandon and I have fallen in love with the country of Sierra Leone and are pursuing adoption on a child we learned about in March of 2017! We have been on a waiting list to begin our process since then but just received our paperwork to begin in December! We have been fortunate enough through donations and saving money to have traveled together to Freetown, Sierra Leone twice in 2017 meeting the sweet child we are pursuing for adoption.

We have sold our home, almost everything that we own, and moved in with my parents to save money for this adoption and additional travel expenses. But, with the extensive fees and processes, we know it still won't be enough to finalize everything. We have been told that this should be a quicker case and we are doing everything we can to make sure finances are never a factor for delays. Thank you for taking the time to read, please keep us in your prayers! And if you are feeling lead, thank you for donating to provide this sweet child a forever family! \<3
