Thank you for your financial assistance in bringing Krasimira to the USA! I am forever grateful as you have eased the financial burden of providing a family for an orphan! You will always have a special place in my heart.
Dear Cynthia & Randolph Nelson,
As a single mom of two internationally adopted children, the financial burden of raising funds to bring a third child home was immense! I applied to many grant programs though a Child Waits Foundation was the only one to have the courtesy to call me and keep in touch during the adoption process; I applaud Raymona Griffin for being kind and persistent with follow-up phone calls. Towards the end of the application process, I was privileged to have the opportunity to speak with Cynthia Nelson, Foundation director and president; I had a wonderful, lengthy conversation with her in regards to the adoption of my special needs, 9 year old daughter from Bulgaria. She was encouraging, supportive, and offered much appreciated advice on bringing my daughter into our lives.
November 24th, 2012, I arrived on US soil with “Krasimira Leanora Sarich”, my 9 year old daughter who had spent the first nine years of her life in an orphanage. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy, she had resided in an orphanage in Lukovit for children with physical disabilities. Now, she lives in New York, attends a regular 3rd grade class in the public schools, and has her own bedroom! She has two younger brothers, Sergio (6 years old from Guatemala), and Evan (5 years old from Russia), two grandfathers, one grandmother, and a multitude of aunts, uncles, and cousins! “Krasi” is starting karate, ice skating, and swimming lessons. She had always dreamed of a forever family and, now, at 9 years of age, her dream has come true! And thank you, for helping a little 9 year old orphan’s dream come true.
With all our love, Debbie, Krasimira, Sergio, and Evan
