Kareen

We interupt this Christmas post to bring you a message.
Some good friends of ours are adopting a little girl from an eastern European country. They are trying to raise money for the very expensive adoption. Their story is so sweet, I just wanted to pass it along.

Here is their story (copied from her blog)

Kareen is a 4 year old little girl with Down syndrome who was given up at birth and has lived in an orphanage in Eastern Europe ever since. In her country a child with special needs is only held in an orphanage until the age of 4 or 5 and is then transferred to an institution where conditions are bleak and offer little hope for living a fulfilling life. Kareen's story has touched our family, and we are committed to bring her home. The cost of international adoption is very high, and we could use your help!
