Our dear friends the Hollis's are in the process of adopting a little girl from Ukraine. It has proven to be a trying process for them but they are doing wonderful and it has been such a pleasure to follow their journey.
There are so many adoptable children in the world and just not enough people willing to adopt them.
Did you know that when a special needs child hits a certain age in Eastern European countries (I believe it is 5 or 6 ) then they are sent to an institution to live out the rest of their lives, if they are not adopted. Alot of these children have such small disabilities but it is hard to tell because they are not given the one to one attention or have access to all the special programs we have in the United States.
I just wanted to share the Hollis's story. Adoption is costly, if you feel moved or called to help their mission then I know it would be appreciated.
