Meet the Holloway and Knofczynski families of Pooler. Stacey and Greg Knofczynski and Brandi and Trent Holloway could not ignore what they see as a worldwide epidemic — the huge number of orphans who have special needs and, therefore, slim chance of adoption.

Both families felt so blessed with their healthy, happy biological children and close-knit families, they wanted to share that with children with special needs who didn’t have parents, homes or anyone to love them other than the staff at the institutions where they lived.

Read more about these amazing families and how you can help them in my local newspaper column here.
