Changing an orphan's life forever: Priceless
The smile on my daughter's face when she found out she has a family: Absolutely Priceless
The cost of adoption is high. The sacrifices we make are many, but the end result is something there is no way we can measure in dollars. I can't wait to share with you the smile we've seen in the pictures of our little girl when she found out she FINALLY, after almost 7 years of waiting, has a family to call her very own.
We are doing our VERY LAST fundraiser to help us get our daughter home. Would you jump on over to www.give1save1asia.blogspot.com and watch our adoption video and give $1 to help us get Joy Noelle home? Pass it on to a friend or two. Keep spreading the word. We hope to travel in September!
