Thirteen years.
Most of us remember where we were 13 years ago this month. And although some of those memories are still very vivid in our minds, in reality we see 2001 is pretty far in our rear-view mirror. Thirteen years was a long time ago. Now add another 6 months to that.
Thirteen years and six months. The amount of time Tula has waited for her family to find her.
With her only special need being a cleft lip and palate, which was repaired in 2003 and 2005, Tula is a healthy girl.
Healthy.
And yet still waiting.
Her time is running out. She has exactly 6 months for her family to reach her. On her 14th birthday, she will age out and no longer have the chance to have a family of her own. They need to see her face SOON!
So we need your help. Please share this post and help us find her family.
Tula’s file is on the Shared List. This means that any agency with a China program is able to access her file. Additionally, Tula has a $10,000 private grant to be applied to her adoption fees. For more information on starting this expedited journey to Tula, please email the Advocacy Team.
Do you know what the remainder of the adoption cost will be? Do you know what adoption agency she is through?
Hi Melissa, Adoptions from China are roughly about $30,000. Tula has a large grant to help decrease these costs. It is also possible to receive agency grants to help with the costs (if using agencies such as WACAP or Madison). She is on the shared list and as such can be adopted by a family or single woman working with any agency.
What will happen if she doesn’t get adopted? Will she still be able to stay where she is located now? I’m not familiar with the Chinese adoption laws.
Hi Ashley, this article by Love Without Boundaries explains it very well: http://www.lwbcommunity.org/what-it-means-to-age-out Hoping this helps! Thank you!
Has she found a family?and do you work with international families? I am American and my husband is not. We live in Taiwan.
