All Hands On Deck!

There’s a family out there who needs prayer… I know there are many families out there who need prayer right now, but this family should be spending this Christmas with their newly adopted children but has just found out that this won’t be happening.  They are Keri & Nathan and their blog is http://keriandnathan.blogspot.com/ .. the truth of this situation is so infuriating!  This mom is someone who encouraged me through our adoption frustration/delays/roadblocks even though Rwanda had closed her file.  Please take some time to pray for her situation—Their family just adopted 2 children from Ghana (they are legally adopted—have been to Ghana to meet them already, have gone through all the government checks with both countries, and as of a couple of days ago, one of the children was refused a visa into the US.)  This is not just a delay… her son and daughter are in a third world country without their parents and they’re not allowed to try for a visa again for 6 months.  This hits home. 

I know that if Liam or Ezra were in an orphanage halfway across the world right now I would be appealing to EVERYONE I knew to help and pray to bring my children home.  I am asking everyone I know to please pray!

I know that this Christmas when I am sitting around the tree with both of my children it will be bitter sweet—I finally have my son home, but I will be painfully aware that Keri & Nathan and their children will not be together.

It is a privilege that we have to be able to pray for those around the world whom we’ve never met—we are the body of Christ!
