Hello, my name is Chelsea and my husband David and are in process to adopt a 14 year old by from Ukriane. Currently, we have three children. One, who is 6, was adopted from Ethiopia as a baby, a 4 year old that is our biological son, and a 13 year old girl who was adopted this summer from Ukraine. She has anopthalmia of both eyes, essentially it means she is completely blind. All of our kids are amazing and we are loving having them in our lives. 

This summer we set out with the intent to adopt more than one child but different things happened and paperwork for our son wasn't ready due to some changes. So we came back to the USA and re-did all of our paperwork and are currently getting ready to go back to adopt him. 

We leave for Ukraine in a couple of weeks to re-start the process.  We have already received a lot of gracious donations and with our savings + donations we currently have raised 20,000! We have 2/3 of what we need for his adoption! Funds are tight for us because we didn't expect to have to be making this trip a second time. However, we will do what we can to bring him home and leaving him behind because we don't have enough money to do the process again, back-to-back, was not an option!

 Thanks for stopping by to read about our story. If you want to and have the ability there is a donate box to the right. I've been told it only works by computer (not phone). Our phones don't  have internet so I can't verify this. But the link will take you to pay pal. ALL donations go directly to the kids' adoptions.
