Who We Are: We are the Joseph family. Just an ordinary family, living in the small town of Bellevue, KY. I am a teacher in Cincinnati Public Schools and my husband, Bernadin, is a research assistant at the University of Cincinnati. We have 2 kids, Elijah who is 12 and Olivia who is 9. Elijah loves Transformers, football, soccer and basketball and Liv loves dance, music, theater and art. My husband was born in Haiti, moved to the US as a child, and worked hard to make the most of the advantages he was given by living in this country. We now have the desire to offer those advantages to someone else, and we are in the midst of growing our family through adoption. We are adopting two little boys from Haiti and we have worked very hard to pay for the expensive process of adoption. We have penny pinched, held various fundraisers such as a Chick-fil-a night, yard sale, handmade soap fundraiser, and many, many more, and we are now only $10,000 away from our goal!
How You Can Help: We are selling 500 puzzle pieces at $20 a piece to raise the $10,000 needed to fully fund our adoption. Purchase a puzzle piece and help us complete our family picture!
What Fees Are Left:
Referral and Post-Referral Fees- $3,000 needed of $14,000 fee
Travel Expenses- $5,000 (this covers a mandatory 15 day bonding trip and travel for 4 to bring both boys home at a later date)
Misc. Expenses (passports, visas, court fees, physicals) $2,000
