Help Rasa with the adoption of little Indian girl

Donation protected
Dear friends, I am raising this campaign for my dear long standing friends Rasabihari, Narakriti and their son Vanamali to help them to realise their long cherished dream to adopt a girl child from India and change her life for better in a caring family, loving home and providing for her bright future. 

You can be part of changing the history of inter country adoptions in Czech Republic. They are the very first family in the history of Czech republic to adopt from India! It has never happened before and they were discouraged all the time by the officers on both sides that they may never succeed as it has never happened before and nobody really knew how to go about it. So it basically took 20 years of longing and prayers, 7 years of IMMENSE and INTENSE paper work, visits to CARA ( Central Adoption Recourse Authority in India), tons of correspondence and visits to the Office for International Legal Protection of Children in Czech, when they were finally matched with a beautiful Indian princess, placed in the orphanage. The little girl is an active, playful child, a good learner, helpful in nature.

Needless to say Rasa, Narakriti, Vanamali and the little Indian princess are besides themselves and totally happy to be finally united as ONE FAMILY.

There are literally millions of a abandoned, orphaned and underprivileged children in India and many older children are free for adoption. Most families opt for as small adoptive children as possible and the older ones are mostly destined to stay in the orphanages without much chance of being ever adopted.

Rasa, though Czech by birth is an accomplished Bharata Natyam (Indian classical) dancer and teacher, who has spent years in India training under the best teachers and Narakriti is an ISKCON temple president in Czech Republic, so their adoptive daughter would not be uprooted from her Indian background in any way. Small Vanamali is extremely looking forward to have an Indian older sister and cannot wait to meet and play with his new sister!

Rasa, Narakriti and Vanamali wish to travel to India as soon as possible and take their adoptive daughter from the orphanage immediately into their foster care till all her papers and legal procedures are finished in India and she can be fully legally adopted and travel to Czech with them. This is the standard procedure as per Indian law.

However, as it is a case with all inter country adoptions, it is a very costly issue and if you feel their story resonates with your heart it would be wonderful if you could help in any way possible for you.

Please feel free to share this urgent plea among your friends, family and anybody who would be willing to help.

Thank you very much.
