In November of 2011, Ron and Julie were called to adopt. They had already raised 6 biological children, the youngest two still at home. After much prayer, they chose to move forward to adopt 2 children from Eastern Europe. Cara, age 6, came home in February of 2013. In the process of adopting Cara, they learned of another child, Emma, who was 2 at the time. Emma has been a crib baby since birth. She has many needs and delays, but their heart is in bringing this little girl home. Emma is now 4 1/2 and needs her family. She has deteriorated greatly in the 2 1/2 years she&'s waited to go home. Julie says, "The IAC denied us our request to adopt Emma saying she was too damaged for older parents. We spent our savings on Attorney and court fees, taking the IAC to the supreme court where we won. We are committed to this child, and giving her the life she deserves! We appreciate any help at all!" Please consider joining this family in bringing their little girl home! Every dollar is greatly and deeply appreciated!
