Dolan Adoption - please help us.
Donation protected
As many of you know, we have been trying to adopt Lindsia, Christlove and Jonah for what seems like forever! Jonah came to us when he was 17 days old ( he is now 9) and their mother had died. We brought his two biological sisters, Christlove and Lindsia into our home about 5 years ago after finding out that Lindsia was being used as a child slave.
Every other day Jonah asks when he can get a passport and go to the United States? He wants to be adopted so badly! He wants to go meet his grandparents and family that only know him through photos. All three of them ask why they can't travel with us when we go back for a wedding. They all ask why they can't write their last name as Dolan at school. They all three want to play with Crew and Oakley and meet Katie and Brian in person. They are bonded to us and us to them. ❤️
The attorney that we originally hired was not as experienced with adoptions. Our new attorney and firm has experience, they have people that can sit at the children's services office and ask about updates and push things along. They have an American attorney on board that can take it all the way through immigration to the United States. All though they still have struggles because of the situation in Haiti, they have been successful. We have friends using the same attorney and they are pleased with how everything has been moving. We are hopeful. ☺️
To start we need to raise $7000 for the first of many phases.
Can you please help? We need to get this first phase finished by April 1st because Lindsia turns 15 in May and the courts will look at her adoption differently and it will be more difficult.
