Matthew 17:20

...I know I keep repeating it but there is power in faith and in prayer...

"And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief: for truly I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you."

Matthew 17:20

S.O.S: I am not kidding

As a teenager I went to church camp every year, one summer the theme of the camp was S.O.S. -- not meaning the "save our ship" that is normally accredited for, but instead: "Save Our Souls"

What Faith is About:

...hey everyone,

Its true, I don't know you. I thought I shouldn't post this so open and bare to a world of strangers I don't know, I was afraid to, I was afraid of what you would all think and do. Then I realised that was what the devil wanted -- for me to be afraid to speak up for people who don't have a voice; so they will remain in the silent dark of his misery even as they scream so loud with voices that cannot be heard.

Mine can.

So how can I turn away from someone whom needs me to talk for her most? I can't. So even at the risk of my own comfort and security -- here goes:

I wanted to make this a post with all sorts of description, but I don't have the words... something so tragic is hanging in balance, so horrifically tragic and unfair to one little child whom has no say in the matter.

Please, please, please, please.... even if I don't know you, even if you came to this blog by mistake or by a search engine or by some random link, please stop and say a prayer for little Mara today, that a miracle might move in two people who play an important part in a decision for her that will effect the rest of her life.

I have to be Cryptic, but God understands. Will you take this leap of faith with me for one little orphan girl? Will you take a few moments to pray for an absolute stranger at the request of someone you've never met without an idea what its really about? Will you take that leap of faith? Will you past the request on? All of you --- please...

In faith,
Debrah

Blogging for Mara...

You all know for a while now I've been looking for a family for Mara? Well, I made her a blog just for that purpose -- so here goes:

One More Time in 2009...

...I feel the need to post it, you see, there are all these little children; millions and millions of them, world wide; each with a name, each with a face. Tonight on New Years, maybe think about a resolution to help them in any way you can, whether it be prayers, advocation, funding for their adoptions or even to bring one home...

One more time in 2009 I feel the need to post these kids pictures. Understanding that this blog is for all kids needing a home; these few here following -like so many others in their exact situation- will be institutionalized soon after they turn only four years old simply because they have some sort of disability, into places, where the workers at those places say for themselves, that are not fit for animals to live in. Clicking on the names below will take you to blog entries with more info and in some cases pictures of these children. One more time in 2009, it is my honor to introduce to you:

Ian, Martin, Mindy and Wallace - 4 little angels set to be transfered next month I think to an institution that they cannot be adopted from.

Dimitry, a sweet little boy whom is blind whom is said to have just turned four this past December.

This little girl, Mara, whom I am trying very hard to find a family for - you will see her picture posted in the sidebar of my blog, is ten. She needs you now and is blessed to be able to teach us so much through her Aperts Syndrome Condition; she is beautiful, and needs real love. Please, please someone think about saving Mara. There are plenty of labels on this blog that lead to entries about her, if you are looking for Aperts Syndrome Adoption, could she be your child?

Then there are all these children in the following video.

Thank you, everyone, so much whom reads this blog. I am not at all condemning anyone here or trying for guilt, some people cannot adopt, I know, because am one of them. But I can speak out for these kids. Please think about them, pass word on, when and where you can or even bring one of these kiddos home, if you can. One more time in 2009, these are the faces of the red thread kids. Happy New Years Everyone, and God Bless.

"In you the orphan finds mercy."

Hosea 14:3

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!

The Older Child:

I think this little video says it all. Thank you, to the lovely family that made it. May your story be an inspiration to those adopting older children. Congratulations on your sweet little girl and as always, I will remove this video from this blog if you so wish.

Again I am asking for someone to consider sweet little Mara or Diana. Their mommies and daddies have to be "Somewhere Out There" Click on their names in the labels under this post for more information. Thank you.

Look Who it is....

That's right, little Miss Mara, whom I mentioned I didn't know where she went to in the entry below this one. However, right after I wrote that her picture popped up on Reece's Rainbow again! I am so glad she is alright! I would so adopt this child if I could! More information on her can be found by clicking this link: http://www.reecesrainbow.com/angelolderchild.htm

Also, in the Other Angels: Girls section there are two more little princesses with Apert's syndrome, one is still Esperanza and the other is little Miss Monica.

There is also a little boy, Sawyer, with Aperts in the Other Angels Boys, section. He is nearly at the bottom of the page so you will have to scroll down a bit. But he is darling. Kisses and hugs for all these little angels! If you are adopting please consider these kids.
