Six months ago (October 13th), a scared, sick, precious ,little girl was placed in our arms for the very first time. Instantly, our hearts we knit together as one. Time has flown by over the last few months as we have welcomed Joy into our family. Looking back at our days in China, it is amazing how much she has grown and developed. Of course, good nutrition and stimulation play a key role in her great strides, but we know it is simply the love of a family that has allowed her to blossom. There are so many children just like her who yearn for the love that only a family can give. My heart breaks for all the children who still wait around the world and in the US for such a basic need-LOVE.
I am overjoyed to report that our sponsored child, referred to as H in earlier posts, has found her forever family~CONGRATULATIONS BAKER FAMILY!! Through the amazing www we recently connected with the Bakers who have also been sponsoring Holly at PHF since 2007. They began looking for Holly's file last fall, but were told she was already being adopted. When the adoptive family disrupted, they were notified by a friend and immediately began the search for Holly. I wish I had words empowering enough to share how God has worked to bring Holly, whom we now call Ava, into this family. Please feel free to check out what God has done not once, but soon to be 5 times in the Baker family at www.bakerssweets.blogspot.com We are praising God for answered prayers for little Ava! Please pray that they will be able to bring her home very soon.
