We are a happy family with 4 boys and 1 girl. Several months ago, we learned of 3 orphan sisters in Colombia (ages 8, 11 & 17). Due to the age of the oldest girl, they are at risk of being separated from each other if they are not adopted before her 18th birthday in June.  She wrote: “It would be beautiful to know that my sisters and I have a family.” We believe God is leading us to welcome  these precious girls into our family! Therefore we are attempting to formally adopt them in April. The total cost is $72,500*   The expenses include: adoption agency fees for all three of the girls, international travel costs for all 10 of us (airline tickets, lodging and food while in Colombia for about 1 month), medical expenses, legal fees etc…. Would you consider helping us bring our girls home? Any amount you are able to give is greatly appreciated!
Warmly, Trent & Aprille Allen

UPDATE: Thanks to several very generous grants, one from Hope Adoption Fund, one from Gift Of Adoption, one from A Child Waits, one from Show Hope, one from Katelyn’s Fund and another from Lifesong for Orphans and gifts from family, friends and even people we do not know, we were able to complete the adoption debt free, keep the girls together and welcome them into our family!  Thank you to each of you for your support!  

*NOTE: Due to restrictions around international adoptions, we are not permitted to post any photos of the 3 sisters until the process is complete.
