MONTGOMERY CO., AL (WSFA) - A Montgomery County neighborhood teamed up to help a couple adopt a child from Haiti.

Kevin and Layla Palmer from Pike Road are working to adopt a boy named Sonny.

Over the weekend, friends from The Waters neighborhood held a barbecue fundraiser to help with the adoption process.

The Palmer family is in the final stage of the adoption process and hope to have Sonny in Alabama by the summer.
