Hi Aundi;
Ironically, my family went through a similar situation years ago. I grew up in a conservative, extended Irish-Catholic family; our oldest sister ended up pregnant at the age of 17. The adults and the Church decided to send her to a convent in Spokane to have the baby and offer it up for adoption…none of the kids had any idea what was going on with her. We learned we had a niece much later, but couldn’t locate her until my younger sister found her by a miraculous fluke. The minute I saw her I could tell she was one of us…a genetic clone! She had been adopted by a wealthy family, had a great life and fit in with us like she was never away.
I can tell you as noble, admirable, and passionate as you are to this beautiful cause, it will be very difficult to find benefactors when there is so much strife around us right now. The Japan earthquakes, tornadoes in the South and Midwest, the flooding; not to mention the stinking economy in general. Maybe if you check on line for a “displaced persons” website you could find an organization sympathetic to your situation that could help/direct you. How about putting your Dad on a plane and sending him back to visit? I realize it will wreck the surprise but I can’t think of a better option.
Let me know what you think and I’ll keep it in mind, maybe come up with a few ideas.
Take care,
XXXX
