You may remember a couple of weeks ago, I posed the question 'What would you do?' about a family who on adopting their daughter in China, learned that she had two brothers she would be leaving behind.
This incredible family could not leave without making a promise to try to reunite the family. Well, after a huge outpouring of support from total strangers, the family just received word that the youngest brother is approved by CCAA for them to adopt. They are officially matched to bring him home. They are also in the final stages of fund raising to pay the fees and are 85% there. This story just gives me goosebumps. There is still another older brother, who is too old to be adopted left in China,but with two bio sibs and a family to support him in the US already, I am hopeful he will receive a visa to join the family at a later date.
Thank you to everyone that has helped raise money and awareness for this family. It is amazing what we can achieve when we work together. Even us, regular families with no money or fame, can make miracles happen. i am so happy for this family, especially for the young girl who now knows she will see her brother/s very soon.
