The Young's

hello all! Something wonderful is about to happen in our home! It is with much excitement that I write this letter, because I have just been accepted to adopt a little girl from China. This is the kind of adventure that I never imagined going on before now. Her name is Sophie and she is one and one half years old. I’ve enclosed a picture of this little cutie. Sophie is a special child - she has a cleft lip and palate which affects his ability to eat and drink. She’s a fighter, though, and is making excellent progress, but she needs to have surgery to correct these problems as soon as possible.

The one part of adopting that is most difficult, other than the waiting, is the expense of it all. Sophie’s adoption will cost approximately $18,500 when completed. This cost includes document preparation and translation, hiring of attorneys and other professionals in the U.S. and China, travel, hotels, passports and more. I am working diligently to save and I am excited to see how God will provide the remainder for us.

I feel truly blessed to be given such a worthwhile opportunity and I hope that you will share my enthusiasm and consider our situation in your giving so that Sophie can have a home for Christmas. There are two ways to do so:
