...Another Angel in Heaven:



My Friends...

My heart is so heavy. Tears are rolling freely from my eyes in streams down my face. Its odd that I can admit that to a bunch of strangers -- but there is no hiding this. Hiding this is what causes such horrible things to happen - things such as little girls who are dependent on feeding tubes to be transfered to institutions where they do not use them...

This is why we do this. This is why we spend thousands of dollars to go get kids from overseas, because they are fated to die horribly like this - alone and starving in dirty beds. This newest little angel is someone whom touched my soul from half a world away... ...without ever knowing it, she did.

Sweet little Diana is now in Heaven dancing with the angels and in the arms of Jesus. She is no longer sick and unloved. I just wanted you all to know how much this amazing little girl has touched my life and how much she meant to me. I never saw her, I never knew her, but I would have been blessed and honored if only I could have been her mommy.

I can do that for you now. I will keep your picture always to remember how much you taught people, how many lives you touched and I and other people will continue to speak up and bring home kids so that your death was not in vain.

Rest sweetly, little angel, in Jesus' arms, I pray...

Forever and ever, Amen...

Got Twins?

Check out this adorable 9 year old duo. These two are in the US Foster System and are in fact from my home state, but no, I've never met them at all. Here is a link to their contact info if you are interested.

Please...


I have a few people whom read this blog, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart those of you whom do, its not spectacular, it isn't an attempt to be. It is not about someone whom is adopting a child. I just wish I could. We are supposed to act, right, once our eyes are opened.

It is sad to know that there are many families in the USA wishing to adopt these kids but 90% of the ones with Down Syndrome alone are aborted. Yes - aborted, when there are families out there waiting for them?

So, in their honor and for the sake of these little kids in the video above this holiday season, anything for these kids and even ones we don't know about or see -- whisper a prayer if you pray? Donate money to their adoption funds, tell someone about them, tell lots of someone's about them. If you can maybe even commit to one yourself? Or maybe post this video to your blog or website?

This winter I am praying hopefully and speaking loudly on the behalf of Mara and Diana and Dimitry, please, they are just kids and have so much to give. They need a family too, hope and love.

Thank you for reading.

Buying A Child??

How can people even ask this question? I was reading on another blog today about this topic and the person whom wrote that blog agreed with me - how can someone even suggest this, especially when, if you think about it, when, after biological children are born - you still have to pay hospital bills.

The fact is - you spend money on kids, whether its by adoption or for their basic care. Does this mean you are buying them? No. It means you care. It means you want them to have a good life. It means you want to provide for them everything you can. It means you love them.

And to those adopting disabled children who get told, "you know she will be with you her whole life," if the child you are adopting has significant special needs. My answer to that would be, "I would hope so. My kids will always be my kids my whole life. What a blessing that will be."

Anyway, those are just a few little things I thought I'd mention this morning. Mara is still needing her home. The Orphan Dolls are still ready to teach the world. Please continue to pray that Ruslana's family can adopt her. My baby Nephew is growing bigger every day. My friend's miracle baby is a little girl! And the family I mentioned in the post below made it by. But they are still struggling badly. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers for them.

Oh! And I might have a new job! We shall see. Prayers for all of you bringing home kiddos, by birth or adoption!

Not Sure How to Do This....

Its my turn to attempt a fund raiser I've never done this like this and am not sure how to start...so I am just going to write and see how it turns out. ...a family I know suffered a hard month last month, between the death of a loved one, a cancer diagnoses and job loss -and now- as a result, they are coming close to loosing the place in which they live.

I know times are hard everywhere, and for a lot of people, but I am posting this as sort of a fund raiser. Each person who donates something I am willing to make a blog title bar like the one on this blog if you wish, with up to 3 kids or figures in it -because thats all my computer can handle- to receive one of these please include your email contact info on the donation page provided by paypal or I may not be able to contact you to do so. You may have to enter the information first. They can be custom made but please understand they are subject to artist interpretation of your wishes and availability of object files. Please understand too that creating them may take some time as well depending on the number of requests. Anything will help. Thank you.







I will keep you updated of course. Please understand this is a delicate subject. This family is really hurting and really sensitive at the moment, negative comments will be ignored completely and deleted.

Little Ruslana...

Yes our same little Ruslana ...whom has a family whom loves her and is reaching to adopt her, may be transfered to a location where they cannot adopt her from in two weeks - because of her age.

Ruslana's family is asking for prayers for the next 24 hours for their sweet little girl, whom has been the daughter of their heart forever now. They can tell about it better than I can. Please spread the word on all your blogs, if the prayer day passes by by the time you hear of it, if you pray please pray anyway.

Please visit the link and pray with us all in faith that they will not transfer her or at least let her family adopt her from the place she is transfered. Pray for God's will on this, he loves us all. Thank you.
