Praying for Delia

 This is Hannah writing. I am Delia's orphan warrior on RR now! 




I hope this will make people want to start praying for her because she needs a family!  I have been praying for her for months. I do not care how long it takes for her to get a family I will pray and pray until my prayers are answered for she can not stay there forever! Every day I look on the My Family Found Me page to see if she gets a family but when other orphans get families it gives me hope.

A Wheelchair for Annya

This is Annya.






















The Bible Orphan Ministry has started a new project to raise funds to purchase a wheelchair for Annya.

Everytime they visit Annya's orphanage, she tearfully asks them if they can get her a wheelchair. She is in pain and she struggles every day because she has to move about on her knees. I imagine it's hard enough to be an orphan, but to struggle with a disability and not have those needs met, must be terrible. For $350 they can get a new wheelchair that will greatly improve her life.

Read about their project here on their blog. They have set up a Chip-in to run until July 6.  Let's help them to make life better for Annya.

Sadie

Awhile back I wrote here about an answered prayer. A little girl without a family was chosen and was to be rescued. We were so happy for her and for the people who would be blessed to have her in their family.

Wednesday I got some heartbreaking news...the family had changed their mind. No one is coming for her now.

We wish that we could rescue her, but we must still wait.

I am praying that someone will find her and want her and love her. She turned 5 in April. She is smaller than my three year old, and my three year old is small for his age.

She walks, but doesn't talk. She likes contact with adults when someone pays attention to her, but has a tendency to go off into a corner by herself.

She is behind for her age, but she's healthy.

She needs a family help her overcome the challenges of being institutionalized for five years.

We can't post her picture, but she is beautiful. She has brown hair and brown eyes.

She used to be listed on Reece's Rainbow, but her file was returned when no one showed interest. She doesn't have much of a voice.

We call her Sadie. That was her Reece's Rainbow name, but it isn't her real name. Lifeline Adoption, who has her file for a very short time, calls her Sarah.

The country where she lives allows large families, older parents, and single moms to adopt. The travel is two trips of about a week each.

Stephanie Carpenter at Lifeline Adoption has her information. If you know of a family who may have room in their hearts and homes for this precious one please contact her. Stephanie.carpenter@lifelineadoption.org

Maxim and Robert

Here are two more boys listed on the same page as Christopher. A couple of precious guys who have slipped between the cracks and are still waiting. Just like Christopher, I cannot imagine these two boys growing up in institutions. You can tell just by looking at them that they have a sparkle in their eyes (I hope it hasn't been extinguished by now) and they would have so much potential in a family.

This is Maxim. Here profile from Reece's Rainbow.

Maxim 15H


 
Boy, Born 2002
 
Oh, how this little boy melts my heart!  Just look at his smile!  He is very high functioning, and will do very well in a lvoing family environment.  He has been blessed to grow up in a baby house and privately run home for children with special needs, and he has been LOVED.  He has many advocates and volunteers who love him dearly, and have asked us to please help him find a family!
 
It is possible he has Mosaic Down syndrome.   We are waiting on his full medical records.   But he is very healthy, active, social…just a love!!
 
From his caregivers and friends:   "Expectant parents need to prepare for Maxim difficulties and learn to accept it for what it is: hooligan, a little jealous, but very good-natured and charming.   Maxim respectable hoodlum, may, for example, to climb into adult shoes (larger size, the merrier) and enthusiastically stomping down the corridor until you catch up.   Loves to joke.    In its immediacy and sunny smile forgiven all hooliganism.   Given his state of health, Maxim has good prospects for further development.   He can not speak, but communicates well with the world through gestures and some of the sounds, knows the names of colors and geometric shapes, animal names, colors, fruits and vegetables, loves to play around with toys, loves being read poems and fairy tales.  Maxim is very housewifely, helps with cleaning.   He needs a home where it will and will love.   And it is impossible not to love.
 
 
This little guy is Robert. And his profile listed on RR.
