We are Kevin, Marta, Greyson, Kasia and Mila (Mila - adopted from China in 2016). God has opened our hearts to Down Syndrome right before we brought our Mila home last year.
Around the same time we saw Elora's face and fell absolutely in love. We hoped there was a chance she would be ours. We began sponsoring Elora - so that she could receive a life saving surgery. Despite the doctors saying Elora was too old and that she was inoperable – thousands prayed and fought for this girl! Donations from followers poured in as Meredith Toering at Morning Star Foundation garnered support. Elora's surgery was a great success.
The next hurdle would be getting her orphanage to write her file. WACAP - Elora's agency fought for a year to get her file to be written to - no avail. We waited and waited and finally we sent in a photo of us with Mila to show the orphanage that children with Down Syndrome are loved, wanted and cherished dearly. After 9 months of pleading and prayer we received a phone call — Elora's file has indeed been prepared! We are so very excited to bring Elora Meredith Joy home!
We are beyond excited and are doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome a beautiful new life into our home. If you're reading this, then you're likely thinking about helping us bring our Elora home. For that, we're forever grateful and want to thank you for partnering with us in this amazing new adventure! We don't take your support for granted, no matter how big or small the donation. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts in advance!
