BRINGING YULIA HOME
We are the Johnson family. In the past 7 years we have adopted 4 children from Ukraine. Over Christmas we hosted a teenager through Host Ukraine who is close to aging out of the orphanage. She asked us in no uncertain terms to be her forever family, so here we are again!
Thank you for helping us bring our girl home.
Our immediate need is to have our homestudy completed as soon as possible because due to Y’s age we need to file an I600a before her 16th birthday in a few months, but try to have the adoption completed within 180 days after filing it. That’s really pushing things!
The homestudy requires a $300 application fee, $1300 homestudy fee (2 visits), and 3 post placements visits ($900) to be paid in full before our homestudy will be released to us to file with USCIS (immigration).
Our supervising agency requires $250 application fee, and a $2500 supervising fee (international requirements and coordination) before we can submit our dossier.
We already raised the $775 for USCIS and $85 x 2 for biometrics (finger prints).
We’ll have CPS clearances, state police clearances, and driving records checked all with fairly nominal fees.
I have to get medical forms completed, marriage and birth certificates, and last time we had to buy a license for each of our dogs. (Yes I know)
We have to do all of this in record time. Thank you for parterning with us and becoming part of Y’s story. Statistics for orphans aging out in Eastern Europe are staggering. 80% of girls end up trafficked and 80% of boys end up incarcerated. Purchasing an item and supporting our adoption means that you are ensuring Y doesn’t become part of those statistics and instead gets to become part of our family.
We have a grant good thru feb 23 that will match any donations received, so you can really help this little girl so much. Please share and donate if you can.
Thank you so much Steemit Commumity!
