The beautiful miracle of life...

Many people have said to me this, adoption of a little girl must be a dream... it is a dream but not the kind you would think.  God has called our family to rescue and care for an orphan. God created her as a beautiful girl and we think she is truly beautiful but the world won't think so according to worldly standards.  Even from looking at her newborn pictures (below) to now she has already gone through an amazing transformation. We didn't sign up to adopt a perfect little girl but one with special needs. That means there are lots of unknowns, lots of medical care(6+ surgeries) to come and also other various therapies.

We have no idea how she will be cognitively or socially but this is what God called our family to and we are ready to roll up our sleeves and get dirty for her sake. She might look different and I know for our friends and family it might be a little different than what you are used to but we ask that you love her through Jesus's eyes as we do- simply beautiful and perfect.  We have been provided the opportunity to save her physically from this world, but we pray that God has bigger plans to save her spiritually which is the greater reward.  Even though we have had an emotional start realizing that this mission is out of our comfort zone, it brings tears to our eyes when we think of how God can redeem her life!

We think of it as an honor to give this child of God what she needs when she never would have got it in her birth country.  Thank you Lord for giving us this privilege and using us.

The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.  Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. -1 Samuel 16:7
