We had the opportunity to host “Ally” from Colombia for the summer. Our family fell in love with her right away. She fit in wonderfully, especially with Simon our youngest. She had a great summer and made it clear she wants to come live with us – “Happy in Ohio.” She has taken to calling Ohio State – “my university.”
We have come to look on her as our daughter already and are eager to bring her back home. Please pray about joining us in this adventure.

**AN IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION FROM ABBA FUND ABOUT YOUR DONATION**
Using the online form on this page automatically submits a request to preference your gift to the family profiled on this page as part of ABBA Fund’s Christian Family Adoption Grant Fund. ABBA Fund administers this fund and maintains full control and administration of all donated funds. We also strive to honor our donor’s preference requests in accordance with IRS and Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) guidelines.
The IRS allows donors to state a preference of how their contribution is used and request that the gift support a particular family — and it allows the charitable organization (ABBA Fund) to fully consider that request as long as the donor understands and acknowledges for charitably given tax-deductible gifts that the ultimate authority regarding the disposition of your gift is at the discretion of the charitable organization. By using this online form, or other method described above, you are acknowledging an understanding of those IRS guidelines.
