In Russia, as in many countries, "Special Needs" children do not officially exist. If these Special children are born, a high percentage become orphaned. Parents give them up at an early age due to ignorance or inability to care for them.
We are adopting Anya, one such girl, from Russia and the adoption process is exceedingly expensive, often three or more times the cost of a domestic adoption. We are hoping for a few thousand dollars from friends and family, (many generous donation have already been made!) and from anyone who is willing to help Anya have a chance for a full life.
It looks like we will be bringing her home in Spring of 2010 and appreciate all the help we can get. Not everyone is called to adopt, but everyone can be part of adoption. Thank you!
