Adopting Aaliyah

Family of four boys adopts a baby princesses!
Vanesa's dream of completing her family has finally come true! With no warning or time to prepare, they received a phone call and were holding their tiny 2 day old daughter within 16 hours! (The birth mother decided to place her baby up for adoption after she gave birth. We are so proud of her faith and bravery!) This family with 4 wonderful boys finally got their princess! This precious baby girl was born premature and spent a few days in the NICU. She is doing well now and they have brought her home!
Why did they adopt? Their 8 year old son was diagnosed at age 3 with a genetic disorder (MPS VI) that will shorten his lifespan and which requires weekly 7 hour treatments, at a Chldrens hospital. He will require these treatmencts his whole life. There is a one in four chance another child could be affected. Also, Vanesa has been advised against another pregnancy due to severe complications. She never felt her family was complete until she held this angel in her arms.
This family has saved and paid some of the adoption expenses already, but could really use some help!
We are grateful for your prayers and generosity!
