Blessings

Jesus loves the little children! We are commanded to love like Jesus and care for orphans. This is why we do what we do!! So many orphans and so many in desperate need that we need more people ready to step out in faith and follow their heart and God's call. They are true blessings and you will not regret taking that step of faith. Natalie, my daughter and Brian went to one orphanage and it was about a 3 hour drive from the city that they started at. This is an orphanage that has not had any adoptions. It is in a small area and it house kids age 4 through the 20's. All with some sort of disability. The older boys were so polite. They came and shook Brian's hand. When Natalie was there and they were visiting our new children in the meeting room, some of the older boys would peek in to see. I wonder what they are thinking? Do they understand? They don't get visitors or get to leave the institution. They are just so sweet. It breaks your heart to see that they will never have a home and a family. Natalie and Brian drove quite a bit, visiting each birth town to get birth certificates. It will take about 5 days for passports to be ready. They drove back to the city they started at that night. They were gone for about 15 hours and had to be up at 6 am the next day to do more driving to the next town where our new son was born and they had to wait about 3 to 4 hours for paperwork. They did not get a chance to get that passport started so they will have to wait until Monday. Again they were gone all day! Then today they went to the baby house to visit our little cutie! He is 2 and has Down syndrome. He loves to be held and cried when Natalie put him down. He and our son Crosby are going to have a lot of fun together! Crosby is 2 as well. Can't wait to meet my babies! Pick up day will probably be on Wednesday! Then they have to get medicals and wait for passports to be ready before going to the embassy for final paperwork. Thanks all for prayers and support! We couldn't do it alone! #freedomfororphans
