Why you should adopt an orphan

     "Imagine, thousands of children around the globe, without anybody loving them. Many kind people make the choice to help and care for these poor children by adopting them into a loving family, don't you think you can do the same too? These kids are not watched after and bullied. I hosted one 12 year old from Ukraine and heard horrible stories of bullying. Make a choice to adopt one of these children, and save one person from a terrible future." - Lucas Jansenson, who got on his mom's blogger account to do this

Ransom for Felicity and Trinity

Meet Felicity and Trinity. They are two orphan girls in Bulgaria. They were born with 'imperfection' and ended up in orphanages.  
There are about 200 million orphans in the world, but soon there will be two orphans less - my dear friends Jen and Wayne from Houston TX are close to complete their process of adopting Felicity and Trinity. They are committed to bring these two girls to a loving home, with the help from family, friends and strangers like you.

Meet the Johnson's from Houston. This is a special family that I adore. Jen and Wayne are the loving parents to nine precious children, out of which four are biological,  five were adopted, five are under 5-years-old, and four have special needs. At work, Wayne is a  Retail Operations Supervisor for Reliant Energy; at home, he helps his wife Jen who stays home raising and homeschooling the children, managing a busy home and keeps all the plates spinning. 
Jen and Wayne are called to adopt and care for children with special needs. Their devotion to the children is simply amazing; As a Mom with single child, I am ashamed to know that the Johnson's kids have a cleaner house, more nutritious meals and more organized school days. This is the perfect family for Felicity and Trinity! 

Many people may not know that adoption is ridiculously expensive. Cristian and I looked into the fees, we are shocked by the initial cost required to give a child home.  Jen and Wayne need about $32k to bring Felicity and Trinity home, the $32k ransom money to allow 2-year-old Felicity and 3-year-old Trinity to leave the orphanage, to experience the family love, to have a fighting chance in life, despite their lousy start.
  
With their personal savings,  with the donations from family and friends, Jen and Wayne are still about $10k short to cover the adoption expense.  The due date is close, the heat is on! Cristian and I are donating $2000 and committed to raise $2000 from our circle of friends for Felicity, Trinity and their forever family. Friends,Cristian and I are here to ask you, to beg you, to challenge you to give, to make your money matter!  As the holiday season approaching us,  the spirit of giving is in the air, please help us reach our goal of $2000.  Please click on the  'Give' button at the right or this link to give.
