Ermias School and Adoption

As many of you may know, we have been in the long process of adopting Ermias since we first met him in 2013.  Ermias is a part of our family and we are incredibly blessed that God has allowed us the opportunity to know, love and raise him. Through this journey, we have put a great deal of financial resources toward the adoption, much of which was given through the kindess of family and friends. Because of the difficulties in finishing the adoption with the Ethiopian government, we hired a state side agency last year to help us finish the case. All of the money we were able to raise last year went to this agency, however they were unable to help us complete the adoption. Miraculously Ermias in July received a student visa for one year to study as an exchange student here in America. Our family has hired a lawyer to try to help us complete the adoption in this upcoming year. The cost of Ermias' school and adoption fees are very expensive and we can only accomplish this with the help of others. Will you please consider helping us with this seemingly impossible task?  Of the $15,000 being raised, $5,000 will go toward his school while the rest will be used for adoption expenses. Please help us make Ermias a legal part of our family and be able to stay here in America!
