Wanted

Can I ask you to do something?

Go visit my friend Susanna's blog.  http://theblessingofverity.com She adopted a little girl named Katie from an orphanage in Eastern Europe last year.  Because her daughter had down syndrome, she was deemed "unlovable" and placed in an orphanage for her entire life.  When she was 10, Susanna's family adopted her and brought her home.  At 10 years old she weighed TEN POUNDS and was 29 inches long.  That's how malnourished these poor children are.  

While the little girl we are trying to adopt doesn't have down syndrome, she is still in very poor shape.  She is almost as tiny as Katie was.  She is around 20 pounds and 30 inches long - at seven years old.  My heart breaks.  But look at how Katie has grown already after being surrounded by such love and care!  That's where the urgency comes in.  We love this girl God has placed on our hearts.  We want her out of there!  As soon as possible.  It's not us being selfish - it's us wanting to get her the care she so desperately needs.  My daily prayer is that God will give me the opportunity SOON to whisper in her ear how much He loves her, and how much we love her.  How valued and wanted she is - for just being her.

Please continue to pray that things will move quickly and smoothly forward.

And please pray that hearts will be CHANGED and that the people in Eastern European countries will see how loved, cherished, and valued these children are in the eyes of God.

Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not of more value than they? - Matthew 6:26.


These children have value and worth beyond measure.  They just need someone to show them it's true.
