My name is Vuka and I am very excited to share that I am planning to adopt a child. I have been matched with a joyful little boy from Ethiopia and I couldn't be more thrilled. "Teddy" was born in December 2014 and has a twinkly smile and large soulful eyes. Plus, he has just hit a major milestone - he has just started walking! I have known that I wanted to adopt for a long time, but waited until I felt I was emotionally and financially ready. As a single mom, I anticipate that raising a son will be a wonderful, life-altering experience. Needless to say, I cannot wait to bring Teddy home, where we can create our own family, filled with love, adventure, and happiness. My dear friends and family have been more supportive than I could have ever even imagined. I hope you will also consider joining me in this exciting journey. The total cost of of my adoption is $30,000 and I plan to reach this goal through a combination of savings, grant dollars and personal fundraising. By donating through this site, your donation is 100% tax-deductible and you will help me get even closer to bringing Teddy home. Thank you!
