I last wrote about Kirill on March 26th when my heart broke in two for a little guy who had no hope of having a family and having any form of life. From then on I have been praying and praying and praying for that little guy and the family that desperately wanted to bring him home. Last week God answered my prayers and the prayers of hundreds of other people and he changed the heart of the supreme court of Ru$$ia and sweet little Kirill is going home! He is going to have a Family!! Can you believe it. Thank you Lord for rescuing this precious little one! I cried about it again today as I read part 2 of his story. I’d tell you all about it, but you need to read it for yourself! Read it on his new Mommy and Daddy’s Blog!
Many of my friends and family know that Morgan and I are praying about adopting a sweet little special needs prince or princess like precious Kirill. It’s hard not to see how Gods heart is for adoption when you read about the mountains he has moved to rescue this little one. I can barely make it a few pages in the Bible without my heart being tugged again and again with God’s heart for orphans, widows, the lost and the broken, the poor and the hungry. I think my heart is getting broken more and more and more every time I read about someones “gotcha day” or the money they are trying to raise to ransom a child from an institutionalized life. All I can say for now is if/whenever we decided to take the leap of faith in this stage of life, you’ll hear all about it and then some! And until then, I will be telling you all of the stories of these precious ransomed children as they capture my heart.
Right now my heart is captured in the eyes of 2 sweet little boys named Carson and John. They have a skin condition called Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) that causes them to have horribly painful sores on their bodies from friction on the skin.
Aren’t they sweet?! So here’s my challenge to you. Go to the Reece’s Rainbow Website which helps connect families who want to adopt with orphaned children who have Down Syndrome and other Special around the world. Put your money where your heart is and donate to whichever child tugs at you the most. Help bring them home! For other kiddos like Kirill. You might not be able to adopt, or you are not quite ready to adopt like us, but you can help other people who are. Give $20 and see if that $20 doesn’t change you by giving it away. $20 isn’t all that much, but it does change your heart and it does make a difference. If you don’t have $20 then pick a child and pray for them until they meet their forever family. You can be a prayer warrior for someone’s son or daughter. Who know’s, maybe it’ll be ours…
