A Special Necklace for a Special Girl

Anya is a precious little girl, who is waiting in Irkutsk, Russia, to come home with Marty and Kathy Friend, who, since 2004 have dedicated their lives and hearts to adopting her. During the summer of 2005, the Friends were preparing their home and family for the addition of a toddler, whenthey got a call with the news that a woman from Virginia had killed her Russian-adopted daughter. This caused shockwaves throughout the international adoption community, and stopped adoptions to American families in Irkutsk.

After nearly five years, five trips to Russia, unceasing prayer and tens of thousands of dollars later, the Friends see an end in sight. the reality is that Anya will be a part of her forever family by her seventh birthday - the end of June 2009. To bring Anya home, the Friends may need to live in Russia for up to two months. The financial reality is overwhelming. Your generous purchase of a specially designed necklace will go into a fund to help bring Anya home.

We here at Girly Girl were taken by this story, and in a desire to reach out to help, now have the 'Anya' necklace available here, in our shop. The neckace was specially designed by Ali Oesch of One of a Kind Jewelry and features a tear drop pineapple cut crystal and pearl, on a delicate silver chain.
