It will be 25 years this March since I first contacted Debbie in CHI. That phone call changed my life. As a single parent who had gone to the USA from Ireland I was eligible to adopt from Romania. I brought Emma home in September 1999 at the age of 21 months. Costica came home in October 1999 at aged 5 years 8 months. It was a challenge but Debbie was always in the background as support. We returned to Ireland in 2006 but have never lost contact with CHI. Congratulations to you all, such a great achievement. Love you Debbie

What an incredible milestone! 50 years of bringing joy and love to families and children by helping them form lifelong bonds. My family feels truly blessed to have welcomed two wonderful children from Bolivia into our lives. They are 25 and 22 years old now and thriving. CHI is an organization built on love and dedication, and each member plays a vital role in the success of these 50 years. We are deeply grateful for your commitment and compassion. It fills our hearts with warmth and gratitude to be connected with such a compassionate and inspiring community!
