Meet the Harrison/Elchert Family!
The Harrison/Elchert family is joyfully preparing to welcome another child home through adoption from Bulgaria. After bringing home a son through adoption in 2024 and walking alongside him through complex medical needs, therapies, and milestones, their hearts were opened even wider to children in need of loving families and specialized care.
Now, they are matched with a young girl in Bulgaria who faces significant medical and developmental challenges. They are eager to bring her home where she can receive the medical care, stability, and unconditional love every child deserves.
At home, life is full of adventure, laughter, and the beautiful energy that comes with a large family. Whether they are exploring outdoors, spending time together, or supporting one another through life’s challenges, the Harrison/Elchert family is rooted in faith, love, and a deep commitment to helping every child thrive. Surrounded by the encouragement of family, friends, and their community, they are eagerly awaiting the day they can finally welcome their daughter into their arms and into the family that already loves her so deeply.
"When I obeyed the call of God to adoption, I stepped out in faith. I didn't have much savings when I started the process -- not nearly what everyone said I needed -- and when I lost my job shortly before travel, I had almost none. But because of the generosity of grants like this one, I was able to proceed in the process and bring my kids home without further delay. I praise God for his provision through your generous gifts and support. "
