We’d like to introduce another Wild Olive Fundraising Family!
The Wild Olive Adoption Fundraising Program was born out of our passion for the orphan. The goal of this program is to help raise support to enable families to adopt a child. What better cause is there than helping a child that was once an orphan be adopted into a loving, Jesus-following, forever family?
Meet the Zorzi family, who is adopting a girl from Columbia…
From the Zorzi’s:
Jim and have been married for 21 years now and nothing has brought us more pleasure than being parents. Our oldest son is in his third year of college and our younger son is a freshman in high school. We adopted our girls from China in 2003 and 2007.
In the summer of 2009, a local family participated in the Summer Miracles by Kidsave and hosted Daniela, from Colombia. They advocated and prayed for her and connected Daniela with a forever family. During a visit to Colombia in May of 2010, Daniela’s new mother met Daniela’s 12 year old sister Yaqueline and immediately inquired about her participation in Summer Miracles of 2011. The approval came a bit late, and the search for a host home was fast and furious. If Yaqueline was going to come to MD near her sister instead of California, a host family would have to be approved immediately-–a God-sized task for sure.
Approval came just 2 weeks later from Colombia allowing us to host Yaqueline through the Kidsave program. Yaqui has spent the months July and part of December/January with us. She is a great fit for our family and we can’t wait to bring her home for good.
