Adoption Fundraiser

Donation protected
Riley is a very special ten year old little girl in need of her forever family. She was abandoned by her mother years ago and was living with her father, but unfortunately Riley walked into her father's bedroom one morning to find him no longer living. As I'm sure you can imagine, Riley was rather traumatized. 

She has been living with us since July 2017 and she is thriving! We have all worked very closely with her extended family and counselors who have been extremely encouraging to us about our decision to adopt her. 

Many people think about adoption in regards to third world countries and infants. But orphans exist right here in our own backyards. In many cases they are even older children with real pain and a real awareness of their losses. Riley is an incredible 10 year old who is smart and articulate, but having been abandoned by her mother and later witnessing the passing of her father, she is a little girl in need of us as much as we need her!

We currently have custody of Riley, but that isn't enough! We want her to know that she is chosen, adopted, forever family, inseparable with love unmeasurable, the same way that through Christ we have been adopted as sons and daughters of God.

We have been rather shocked to learn how expensive adoption is. Initial estimates for lawyer fees, home studies, curator fees, etc are roughly $6,500. When I learned of this cost I almost gave up. But God reminded me that through Christ ALL things are possible.

Riley has picked out a puzzle that she loves and everyone who helps give her a family will have their name written on the back of a puzzle piece. When the puzzle is complete we will preserve the puzzle forever so that she will always know who helped give her a family!

We can't do this without your help. Will you please consider a donation in order to help us reach our goal? There is not amount too small! Sharing this on Facebook would also be a huge help for us to reach more people who may be willing to help. THANK YOU!
