We are currently in the process of an international adoption of a 2 year old boy with special needs from Bulgaria. After 3 long years of waiting and filling out endless paperwork, we are so close to finishing our adoption and hope to be traveling to finally meet our son in person this fall. This past month we found out the agency we were using is closing their international adoptions and that we would have to move to another agency. This was devastating news for us and all the families who are now in the process of changing agencies. Because our hearts have already fallen in love with this amazing little boy, we would love to provide a home and family for him. We have decided to finish our adoption with Holt International. Changing agencies has brought unexpected additional expenses that we didn’t plan for and we could really use a helping hand to bring our son home. Please consider donating to our family. Anything helps and we greatly appreciate your help in helping us give an orphan a forever family.

Happy New Year
We met Mateo in August. It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Bulgaria was beautiful, his foster family is very loving and caring and Mateo was just perfect. Your typical 2 year old boy full of energy and desire to explore the world around him. He is a sweet and happy boy with an infectious laugh. And finally after a long wait and much more paperwork, we can finally say that we will be traveling yet again to Bulgaria to pick him up and bring him home within the next month. We are so excited and anxiously awaiting his arrival!
