The first girl is beautiful. She's well behaved, helpful with the other kids and is healthy. She seems to be on the waiting child list because she's 6 years old.
Knowing that Ryan wants Scott to remain the oldest child, I asked Ryan if we could adopt her. His response was: "If someone hands us a $10,000 check, I'll take that as a sign from God." I think he was being slightly sarcastic in his comment but of course I didn't let it end there. I assured him that he was putting God in a box by saying that and said that instead we should see if she was still available for adoption and if so, to take that as a sign to adopt her. There was no response from Ryan.
I have been praying that God will help me find a family for this little girl. So, I could use your help in one or more of the following ways:
- Do you have $10,000 that you would be willing to send in the form of a check so that Ryan will see God's sign?
- Do you know of anyone who'd be willing to parent this little girl, to give her a loving family
- Will you join me in praying that this girl will find a family before she gets even older and less likely to be adopted?
As I was praying for this girl in the past few days, a thought occurred to me. A while back I was sitting on the patio of a coffee house with a friend when my doctor walked by. In our brief conversation I asked her if she was having any other kids. She said "no, unless one falls out of the sky for us." She went inside to order her coffee. When she came out we had another slightly more lengthy chat about adoption. I told her that there were plenty of kids that needed families and I would keep in touch with her if I found one. Well, maybe I did. I need to contact Dr. Ryan and chat with her about this beautiful little girl!
Did Ryan chat with those folks about her?
ReplyDeleteI mean, did you contact Dr. Ryan about her?
