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!

you gotta check this out!

You simply must go check out my friend Leah's fundraiser.

She's selling some rockin' cool handmade earrings.

Seriously, they are su-per great. Take a look at the pair I snagged...

Oh and the very best part is, the proceeds go to bringing home their sweet daughter waiting in China...who is one of Macy's friends! Woo!! Macy and I are so stoked for her to meet her new family! And they only live a few+ hours away, so the girls will be able to see each other *frequently*!!


There are MANY more cool styles...go check them out, OK?

a bloggy friend visit

Yesterday was a crazy-fun day that included
meeting up with my bloggy
friend Leah and her family,
who will *soon* be going to China to
adopt one of Macy's friends!!!

Here we are at Panera Bread...
they are in town with their
daughter who is playing in the state championship
volleyball tournament!!

And here are the kiddos.
**One little ladybug is missing though!

We had a lovely visit and will definitely
get together again, especially once their sweet girl is home!
