and he continues to wait...

Look at this darling girl!!

My friend Leah and her husband just adopted her.
Her name is Abbey
and she is one of Macy's friends.
We simply can't wait to see these two girls reunited!

This picture was taken when they visited the orphanage
after their adoption was finalized last week.
But what I'd really like you to take notice of is
the sweet boy in the background.

He is the only older child, out of 30+ kids in the Journey of Hope Project,
that still doesn't have a family coming for him.

He has heard nearly all his friends receive news of
a family coming for them.

He's watched so many other kids eagerly open care packages.

And, as you see in the picture above,
he's witnessed child after child walk out of the orphanage,
once and for all,
with their forever families.

And he continues to wait.

Older child adoption isn't easy.
Sometimes, it's downright HARD.

But really,
is it fair that any of us should have it easy
when this boy just wants a home to call his own?

If you feel God possibly calling you to adopt this boy,
please email me or contact WACAP.

And I would love it if all of you would join me
in praying for him!


UPDATE:
After much prayer, it turns out that WE are
this sweet boy boy's family!

I can't begin to tell you how delightful it would be to bring him home. We have been praying for the funds to do this again.

Right now, we just can't seem to...but we will continue to pray.

Whether it is us who get him or the family who gets him, our prayers are for his precious, lonely and yet hopeful heart

What a blessing that Macy will get to see her friend! How heartbreaking about the older boy who continues to wait... You're so right, older child adoption can be hard, but it is SO worth it!! The blessings far outweigh the burdens!!

Just wanted to say 'hi' too... I've been out of touch far too long!! I LOVE your new blog look!!

That is so very sad. If you hear that he's been placed, please let us know because that is really just heartbreaking. Do you know what his special need is?
