Ana Maria & Mariana are two colombian young girls who have had a very challenging life during their very early ages. Both their mom and dad have lost their custody due to not providing the necessary protection or care for their daughters. During their most early years their grandmother tried to take the utmost care of them, but due to deteriorating health conditions along with increasing age can no longer take the best care of her granddaughters. Ana Maria & Mariana have been welcomed into a new family lead by the girls aunt, Maria Jose her husband Bruno and son Juan Jose who have welcomed these young girls with open arms and a loving home. These two young girls along with their family have lived in great suspense and anguish as they await the extended adoption process. The girls along with their aunt have had to live separate lives in Colombia from the home that awaits them in the United States  as due to the delayed adoption process along with strict immigration laws had impeded them to do so. Although the process has been extremely delayed it has been has also been incredibly beautiful as it has allowed time for increased love, respect, solidarity as this family offers both a safe and loving home. After much time, it is finally time to formally adopt the girls, this process has been successful along with Colombian authorities and now we await the procedures to be completed by the United States government.


Our family is a middle class family, but this process has taken more time than what we expected and has required our family to take on two households both in Orlando where my husband Bruno and Juan Jose works and Colombia where I have had to move for over the past two years with Ana Maria & Mariana awaiting this much anticipated adoption process. To complete this much anticipated adoption process we need to come up with 21.675 thousand dollars, to complete the international adoption process, which our family does not count on the entire monetary amount to complete this process. Since the moment Ana Maria and Mariana entered our lives, we have considered them our daughters and want nothing more than to expand their horizons and opportunities to a better future.

Making this request of support has not been easy for our family, but completely resigning to the girls adoption would be even more difficult as we would have to desist from providing a better future for these enlightening young girls.
