You can be a part of this Journey:
As you may know, adopting can be very costly. Why does it cost so much? Well, first of all,you aren't "buying" a child. These funds are used for administrative purposes, donations to the orphanage, travel and hotel fees, fees for applications and other necessary documentation. Our family is relying on God to provide the funds for this adoption. If you or your family feel lead to help us with "Our Adoption Journey," you can help out in one of two ways. You can help by visiting the website below and hire Gemstone for your next event. www.GemstoneTheClown.com OR Simply click on the link below to give a monetary donation directly through Paypal. May God bless each and everyone one of you who help to bring an orphan home to his forever family! |
