Join us in helping Melea & Jim complete their family. This is something they have been waiting years for. As her mother, I want nothing more than to see Melea & Jim experience the joy a child brings. I'm thankful that they've chosen to adopt, as this has been something dear to our hearts. Although there are a few tax credits available after an adoption is completed, today an average newborn adoption can exceed $25,000. They have completed the 1st few steps of this process, but I'm asking for your help to keep this dream moving forward. By combining our efforts we can help them through the final phase. Every penny counts and is deeply appreciated. If every reader is moved to donate even $5.00 we can make this happen. Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart.

 

Gratefully yours,

Shelly

Latest Update

Well after 12 months of paperwork faxing scanning, waiting, background checks, and endless fundraising efforts, which we couldn't have done without the help of our friends and family; Melea & Jim received this today: "Congratulations!!! Your homestudy, dated 8/7/15, has been approved. You are recommended and approved to adopt up to 2 children, male or female, birth to 2 years old." We're learning that each time a potential willing birthmother wants to meet us, we have to travel to wherever they live, possibly miss days of work, and it could be 5 miles away or 500 miles away. While the budget for out of state babies can be as high as 34,000, we have just enough for the attorney fees and the matching process, IF.. it's an Ohio baby. Any help of course, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone for your donations.
