Adoption

A few years ago a family friend adopted a little sweetheart from China. Since then I have been a little adoption blog stalker. I admit it -- it touches my heart! Last year, some other family friends adopted a sweetie from China. Guess what...still blog stalking! A feew weeks ago I ran across a blog called The Blessing of Verity.



It is about a family who adopted from Pleven in Bulgaria. If you go back and read the story and your heart doesn't break...well...it will. From there I found an advocacy website for children around the world, many with Down Syndrome and Cebral Palsy. Several of the kids on this particular site are in Eastern Europe - where the conditions are terrible for orphans. The site is Reece's Rainbow.



Today - the writer of the blog I mentioned about posted about a boy in need of a family. If a family doesn't step forward and commit to this boy within 1 week he will age out and will be sent to a mental institution where he will likely recieve little to no care until he starves to death. Please read over the blog, pray for him, and pass it on -- perhaps you know the family God has chosen for him. If nothing else, join me (an many others) in prayer for him and the other orphans of this world.

And this guy:

Pledged their love to each other for the rest of their lives. 

Best.  Decision.  Ever. 

Best.  Day.  Ever.

Thank you, sweet husband, for loving me.  Even through the temper tantrums (would I have one of those?!), nagging, 'disagreeing', and all the other 'for worse' moments....I love you more than you know! :)
