For 16 months, I have been experiencing the deepest joy of earthly life, by raising my beautiful daughter, Grace. She is 13 though in many ways wise, far beyond her years of living. From the first week she was home with me in April 2012, she told me I would have another daughter and she has been praying faithfully for the addition to our family. Smiling to my core, I thought that is certainly up to God, but I am more than willing.
A few months ago, I learned about a girl a year younger than my own daughter in desperate need of a family to love her. The child had been taken out an extraordinarily vulnerable and violative lifestyle and placed in a school for protection and education. My heart was immediately broken for this girl. With total understanding of what it would take to heal her wounds, provide security and a future, I gave my love to her along with a commitment to do whatever it takes to bring her into a loving home. I believe with all my soul, she is daughter 2 and will become the sister to my beautiful 13 year old.
Today, I learned that the situation is urgent and the need to speed up the process of adoption is paramount. There are circumstances which are evolving daily and while nothing can be done to stop the outcome of today, you can help me. You can change the outcome for this precious child.
My daughter, Grace, wanted to write her thoughts for you:
"I think adoption is a good thing to do. Before I was adopted I did not live the happiest life every day of the year. Being adopted is the best thing that has happened to me because I got adopted by a parent who takes good care of me and gives me the chance of the best education and life. When I got here, she helped me with my fears and taught me to believe in myself. She helped me fit into groups in my church.
I hope the same good things that have happened to me here, will happen to my new sister who we adopt next. My mom is the best Mom in the USA. She helped me make two best friends and I know my new sister will have a great experience making new friends and going to school and church."
