I am burdened. It's no secret. Millions upon millions of children wait. Alone. And why can I not do anything about it?!!
There's a little dark face that beckons to me. Over and over I see him. In my dreams he visits. I have seen him in real life, too, though only in pictures. His eyes are dark and deep. They seem to say "when will it be my turn?".
I love this boy, and my heart aches like part of me isn't here when I think about him. Maybe soon I can share his picture, but for now will you join me in praying. Above all else, he needs a family. He needs to hear "I love you, I love you, I love you" over and over. He needs healing- both emotional and physical. He needs to be home.
He is old to many in the adoption world. Old at the age of 3! Can you believe that? Too old for many. He is absolutely beautiful and of course, rocks a little something extra- that 21st chromosome! He lives across the sea in a country where he has no chance. The medical care just doesn't exist there, and he desperately needs care just to survive. His mother loves him but is no longer able to care for him. What love she has for her boy- to be willing to release him so that he may survive somewhere else. Tears.
I pray that God will move many mountains this year both in my life and yours. I can't wait to see what He has in store!!
In Him,
E

We need some huge mountains moved in our lives too! all we want to do is scoop up children and love them and we can't. isn't that the worst feeling in the world!!
You're in my prayers!!
Praying with you! I too feel that burden a lot!! I know it is there for a reason....and I know that I am not meant to be kept quiet about it. We are called to act.
May God Bless this little man with FAMILY, and may He lead you on His path to him :)
