The Durning Family
Hi Stone Family Foundation!
We are the Durning family–Rob, Caroline, Joanna and Charlotte–and we are so grateful to the Stone Family Foundation for assisting our family in our recent adoption. We started our adoption journey in 2019, and Joanna arrived in March, 2020. In early 2021 we learned of Charlotte, Joanna’s biological sister, and were blessed with her arrival in August.
We are so grateful that we were able to adopt both girls, and at sixteen months apart, these sisters are destined to be best friends. Ed and Elaine, thank you for welcoming us into your home and sharing your time to hear our story, and share your own. Your foundation does incredible work helping build families, and we are so thrilled to now be a family of four. We look forward to watching our girls grow together and will always hold a special place in our hearts for the Stone Family Foundation’s dedication to such an important cause.
Sincerely,
Rob, Caroline , Joanna & Charlotte Durning
Stone Family Adoption
Annual Appeal
The Stone Family Adoption Assistance Fund, since its inception in 2007, has grown from a memorial concept to an organization that assists numerous families every year. It is our mission to provide financial assistance to families wishing to adopt and to families that have incurred economic hardship through the adoption of special needs or foster care children.
We truly appreciate what you, our loyal and dedicated donors, have done so far. It is the collective effort of generous people like you that has enabled us to help deserving families you read about in our newsletter. We understand that there are many charities to donate to and we are especially grateful that you feel strongly enough about our mission to choose to support us.
We would like to ask you to join us as we continue to reach out to the families in need. As the awareness and reputation of our fund grows in the adoptive community, there are more and more families that come to us for assistance. Your support will allow us to carry forward as we help to build adoptive families.
