If the world was fair, none of the children living in Deb’s House would be there. Deb Murphy-Scheumann opened the house in 2000 for babies waiting on paperwork to be completed, that would lead them to adoptive homes in the Kansas City Area.
But when the government of Romania closed international adoption in 2003, the children were left with no place to go. So, for the past 6 years, a small group of devoted friends, has been raising funds to raise the kids together in that temporary house that, out of necessity, became a home. When Deb Murphy-Scheumann became extremely ill, Elizabeth Alex became their cheerleader and support system.
With no government assistance from Romania, all funds are raised here. Friends of Deb’s house provide everything from milk and eggs to cabbage and meant, to toothpaste, water electricity and heat.
