Layne and Amy Joy Olivo

are adopting a child from Colombia

We are pinching ourselves! Our dream is coming true! We are adopting a little girl from Colombia!

We’ve spent the last year completing the necessary vetting process and paperwork. The next step is for our agency to send our dossier, the official application and supporting documentation, to Colombia.

This is where we need your help. We cannot move forward from here without financial help. It may surprise you to hear that our agency anticipates that our adoption-related expenses will total $45,000 or more. We are starting this crowdfunding campaign to invite you to be a part of bringing our little girl home. Thank you for coming alongside us. You are an answer to many prayers prayed over many years!
