Raising money to Fly to Sofi!

5 years ago our youngest child was born with Spina Bifida. Over the past five years, we have witnessed sad things, joyous things, struggles, hardships, and miracles. We believe that we have been given this sweet boy of ours for a reason. We believe that we have been given the knowledge of how to care for our boy so that we can help another child. When we first saw Sofi Rose's picture, we knew she was our daughter. We are so excited to bring her home to her forever family. She will have five big brothers to love her and protect her. She will have a mommy and daddy to adore her. She will be given every opportunity to be something beyond her disability. We need your help to do this. The fees for international adoption are astronomical, and there is a time limit. Please help us bring Sofi Rose home....every little bit will help!

Our family has been truly blessed.  We have witnessed serious miracles.  During January, our shoe drive went OFF.  We collected over 12,000 PAIRS of shoes.  We earned $9422 towards our adoption!  That was huge.  At this time, we are trying to raise the money for our immigration processing fee and our biometric fingerprinting.  Any help you can give is so appreciated...we are getting so close!!!  Soon we will be able to send our family dossier to Sofi's country to go to court.  Then we will be able to visit her for the first time.  Please please consider helping us get to the next step.  Step by step we will get there!

We might be far away and may never meet face to face, however your faith and determination to bring your little girl home inspires me every week. We are from a small town north of the Twin Cities in Minnesota. Our daughter Carolyn was just born on July 30th with Spina Bifida. I just want Sophie home where she can feel all the love you have to offer her. I donate in honor of my daughter Carolyn and all the other families with a child with spina bifida.
