Help Us Complete Our Adoption Story

I never planned on adopting 3 children when I came to Mexico, but after taking in each of my children who each have unique needs and desperate stories, we became a family. We have been on a long journey to adoption and hopefully are finally near the finish line.

When I began this journey 9 years ago, I was completely unaware of the blatant deception, corruption, incompetence, and downright laziness I would face in the process of these adoptions. When I received my children from the social services agency, I was told each child's adoption must be completed within 2 years by law. That obviously has not been the case, and the process has felt hopeless at times and has been a very long and emotional journey. I haven't set foot on US soil in over six years, and I am honestly very, very tired and weary. It's been one of those nightmare stories you see on Dateline and hope you never have to live. Yet here I am, living in the thick of it. I have honestly been hanging on by a thread in all the ways (the past 6 months especially).

Thankfully, after a lot of fighting for so many years, it appears we are truly nearing the end of the very long and draining road. However, in the process of these very long 9 years, I have lost thousands of dollars. I have exhausted all my savings and need help moving forward. We are now at a pivotal point where we need your help to reach the finish line.

I have several payments I need to make in the next few weeks. I honestly can't see the way ahead of me, but I continue to hear my mama's voice in my mind telling me that God is not surprised by anything I am facing and that He owns a thousand cattle on the hill and will make a way when our human eyes can see no way. I am holding on to that faith with all I have.

Moving forward, my costs will include paying a completion fee to our new attorney, government filing fees, immigration and travel document fees, and a variety of other necessary expenses. My current fundraising goal is $3000 per child. Unless something unforeseen happens, I think that amount will help us complete everything for each child. Anything anyone can do to help is appreciated. Even $20 gifts can be life-changing. Your support means the world to us, whether it be through prayers, financial support, or sharing with others who may be interested in helping.

Thank you so much for caring, praying, and for being a part of our journey.
