Do you ever observe a family, see their actions and the lifechanging impact they are having in children's lives and think 'I wish there was something I could do but don't know what or how'. Here is your opportunity. Through gofundme you and hopefully many others can have a very real, meaningful and immediate impact on a specific group of wonderful kids.
The backstory: (I am intentionally leaving out all the names of the kiddos)
11 years ago Joy and Chris decided they could make a difference in a child's life via adoption and celebrated the adoption of their first daughter. Two more adoptions followed.
Through a turn of events, Chris and Joy were unexpectedly contacted about two biological brothers, aged 4 months and 5 years. They felt they could not say 'no' for several reasons, two of the most significant being not wanting to split up the two boys as well as one of the boys is a full sibling to one of their daughters and the other boy is a half sibling.
Where is my money going?
While the two boys have lived happily with Joy, Chris and their three daughters for over a year and have functioned as a loving family the adoption process has been time consuming and extraordinarily costly. The elder son should be finalized soon but the baby is becoming much more timely and far more difficult and expensive than Joy and Chris could have imagined. The fact that all of these hearings are held out of state is also a logistical nightmare.
While I can imagine there are several 'buckets' that could benefit a gofundme campaign this is specifically going toward legal expenses directly related to Joy and Chris youngest son.
My hope and prayer is that this campaign can cover the legal expenses going forward and Joy and Chris can focus on the ongoing emotional needs of their children and not how to cover legal bills to officially (and legally) bring these to amazing boys permantly into their family.
