Well....if you're directed here...

We better make an announcement!!!!!

My heart is all over the place. I am terrified beyond belief and excited beyond belief. Our family is growing...again. But this time from a very unexpected source. We fell in love with this little princess when we saw her. She reminds us so much of our biological daughters. And there's no doubt that having my brother Jerry(with DS) has etched a very special place in our hearts for these special needs kids...But I really don't look at this as we're serving her. We are the lucky ones. We are the ones who are going to get share a place in her heart. A place in the life of one of God's most choicest sprirts...I loved in conference(we have a semi-annual session of our church in which the leaders, our Prophet and his called Apostles address our members and give us counsel) where is mentioned that some of God's choicest spirits are housed in fragile temples. This life is so brief...and the weaknesses and frailties of our bodies and minds won't last forever. We have already given our heart to this little girl. Now to get her home!!!

So...as part of the effort, we can fundraise. We can't tell you how much we'd appreciate your help bringing her home!

I am so excited for your family. My heart is full of joy to see Clarie to soon be part of your wonderful family. When my husband and I first can upon RR, we saw Clarie and Jolie and fell in love with the both of them. After a very hard decision, we decided to adopt Jolie, due to the fact that our daughter, Alessia born also with DS is the same age as Jolie. We prayed that Clarie would find her forever family and our prayer got answered!! Thank you and God bless all of your family.
