The Baca's China Adopt Fundraiser
Donation protected
Children are a blessing... a loud, crazy, chaotic,
exuberant blessing. It takes a lot of hard work,
prayer, and endurance sometimes to raise our
children, but it is so worthwhile.
We have been on this road twice before...
Two years ago, we brought our boys, Gabe
and Zach, siblings, home from China. They both lost their parents
within 3 years of each other, their home, everything,
and were 7 months away, on Gabe's 14th Birthday,
from aging out and become unadoptable. God led us
to them, and their first full day home was Gabe's 14th
Birthday!
Thirteen years ago, our family adopted 2 children
from India with medical needs, Thalassemia Major, so we know first hand
how important it is for these children to know the
love of a family. Sadly, our youngest son Sanjay
passed away, 6 years ago at the age of 10, from a
freak brain bleed, while he was in the hospital for
a BMT to try to cure his Thalassemia Major. We
miss him every day, and are SO glad we listened
to God's voice whispering to adopt 2 toddlers from
India. He enriched our lives beyond belief, and he
lived in a family who loved him dearly for 8 years
before God called him home...We have a heart for the
orphaned, and God is whispering again, and there is
little doubt that adding Bayley to our clan will enrich
us all! The Agency says it should take about 9-12 months
to complete everything and bring her home.
Bayley is an 8 year old girl in China who has mild Cerebral
Palsy and has been in the Orphanage since she was 2 days
old. She has never known the love of a family! We have
learned that there are currently over 4,500 orphans
available for international adoption, with over 2,300
of them being in China. We have room in our home
for another bed. We have room in our suburban for
another seat. We have leftovers after nearly every meal.
We have room in our hearts to provide another child with
a mom, a dad, 2 big sisters, and 3 big brothers...2 of
whom speak Chinese and can help her transition to life
in a family in the USA faster, so we are following a little red
thread to China to bring our daughter home!
This adoption will cost approximately $35,000- $40,000. The
adoption process will take approximately 9-12 months of
agency time, involves two full sets of immigration officials
(one from each country ), agency caseworkers who advocate
for more children than just ours, a local home study agency
who sends a caseworker to our home at least three times,
adoption preparedness training, preparation of countless
certified and notarized official documents, travel agents,
international airfare, hotel stays for a total of two weeks in
two cities, two guides in China to help us be at the right place
at the right time with the right documents, passports, visas, a
donation to the orphanage to help provide for the children who
continue to live there, and multiple post-adoption visits by the
caseworker to make sure that we are all well adjusted.
Our Goal is to be able to travel to bring home Bayley
in October 2018, just 9 months from now, and we need your
help to make that happen! Our first Goal is to raise enough
money to pay the Home study and Dossier fees, which total about
$4200, before March 15th, 2018.That will help us breathe a bit,
because we can then apply for adoption grants. We are saving
every penny we can ourselves to reach our goals, but every single
person who gives, whether it be a little or a lot, is part of our
adoption story, and providing hope to a small girl with special needs in
China, who currently has very little...We appreciate, so very much,
every person who is helping us to make this happen!
To highlight this we are doing an Adoption Puzzle Piece
Blitz...we have 300 puzzle pieces to be claimed for $30
each. The first 300 donations of $30 or more get their name,
or the name of a loved one, on the back of a piece. When
the puzzle pieces are all claimed, I will reveal the puzzle,
and it will be framed in a 2 sided frame for Bayley's room,
showing Bayley just how many people wanted to help give
her a home and family. May God bless you!
