Thank you for taking the time to read this. It's been a long and broken road, but I am thrilled to say I am adopting a little girl from Colombia!
I'm still in the Home Study process, and they say it may be as long as three years before I'm able to be matched and bring my daughter home. When I do, she will be requiring treatment (mental/emotional/physical) here in the States. And although I'm still early in the process, the bills are already rolling in.
Why Colombia? Well, first, hablo Español! That will help as my daughter will be learning English once I get her back to the States. Second, I have always had a love for South America - their history, culture, and the people's tenacity thru the ages. Third, I've been privileged to sponsor two girls in Colombia through Compassion International for over a decade, and have gotten to see the country through their eyes. I can't wait to bring my little girl here and give her all the love and opportunities that are possible.
Why Adopt Together? This adoption will cost me close to $50k by the time my daughter is home. That's a lot of money! But beyond that, this gives you the opportunity to live out James 1:27 along with me - "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress". And you can do it while getting a tax deduction for your gift!
Even if you can't give financially, I covet your prayers in this journey. Thanks for reading along this far, and for considering a gift on my daughter's behalf.
