Bring Ellie Home!

Kim Carter Knoxville, Tennessee

Hello! We are the Carter Family! We have 4 boys and 3 beautiful girls! In 2017, after our daughter passed away from a genetic disorder, we felt the Lord calling us to adoption for those with special needs. We spent several years praying about where, who, and in what timing. We began the process in 2020 and through covid shut downs and zoom visits into an orphanage, we finally brought our second oldest daughter home from Bulgaria in Oct of 2022. 

Two years later, we felt God calling us back to Eastern Europe once again. We are praying for God to move the mountains only He can move. We would love your help in being a part of God’s story in our daughter’s life! Every dollar helps! Please pray about financially supporting our sweet girl!
