We got married in 2013 and now settling into our new home. Kristin is a Event Sales Manager while Patrick is a Network System Administrator for the Federal Court System. We have two fur babies Beau & Chance! Together, we enjoy Alabama and Birmingham Southern football games, time at the lake or beach and lazy Sundays. Why India:
-There are over 20 million orphans in India, most in the world.
-India
is the third largest HIV positive nation in the world.
-By 8 years old chidren are being taken into sex trafficking.
-20% of female children are forced into prostitution.
-82 girls go into sexual trafficking everyday.
-Over 15 million children are forced into labor.
-India only makes up 7% of US related international adoptions . How to Help:
First, we ask your your thoughts and prayers through this very long journey. Between paperwork, homestudy and lots of patience we will need friends and family. Second, finacal support. Adoption from India is roughly $40,000 yes you read that number correctly...We understand this is a HUGE amount but we know at the end of the journey how much love not only us but our friends and family will have for this little one. Please feel free to follow our journey on our website: BringingHomeBachmann.com
We look forward to sharing this journey with all of you and can't wait to meet our little man or girl!
