12/24/07 Update: Praise God! I just got word that this little girl has already been matched with another family! What great, great news!
Original Post dated 12/23/07: I just received sad news. A little girl who holds a special place in my heart is again in need of a family. Let me explain:
When I was in China, the CCAA granted our request for a new referral. They were very gracious and within a few hours they had not one, but TWO girls to choose from! We didn’t have pictures, only names, ages, and brief descriptions of each girl’s special needs. One of the referrals was obviously Kara. The other girl was younger and had a special need described as “one leg fatter than the other.” God definitely led us to Kara, but the other girl weighed heavily on my heart as well.
Within only a few days of our return to the USA, I saw the other girl’s file listed with IAAP. I was so happy when another family quickly snatched her up! Today, though, I found out that the family who was working on her adoption decided not to travel to complete it. Now she is relisted with IAAP, and they want to find her a new family quickly before they would need to return her file to China.
I can’t tell you how cute this sweet girl is! She will be three years old in January. If anyone is interested in this sweet girl, please contact IAAP at info@iaapadoption.com or call the agency at 423-886-6986
right away.
