Keep Beautiful Brothers with Mommy

Donation protected
I am the mother of a very selfless, caring, beautiful woman.  I am starting this page for her to help in the costs of fighting to adopt her foster sons.

Amy is a single mother and a school teacher with two beautiful and amazing foster sons.   Both boys were welcomed into Amy's life with the goal of adoption. Unfortunately, due to a complicated and broken system, this reality has been delayed and threatened.
Amy has been petitioning the courts for months now to adopt the children not only because she loves them unconditionally and they know her as their only mother, but because their birth mother cannot have them.  Amy is fighting for their safety and future security in pursuing their adoption.  

I have created this page in hopes of helping Amy pay the ongoing legal fees that she has incurred due to court delays and unforeseen complications.
You can help Amy advocate for adoption of her two beloved boys with financial donations of any amount. Everything will go directly to her cause of adopting these boys.

I know that Amy feels that being a mother was her calling.  When I see those two boys with Amy, how they trust and know her as their mommy, how they light up at the sight of her and how they are blessed by her patient, wise and abundant love, I know they would say the same—"she’s my mommy".

To think of the courts separating them is crushing and, frankly, it scares me. I cannot go into details about where the boys might be placed, but I can state strongly enough that it is in the boys’ best interest to be legally adopted by Amy.

I hope when you consider charitable giving this holiday season, Amy and her sons will come to mind. I want 2017 to be the year that Amy and her boys can rest securely—finally—in their legal and binding promises to each other as a family.

Thank you for your time and consideration!
