WHY would anyone fundraise to bring a child into their family that might be a burden?
WHY would anyone travel to the other side of the world to adopt a child who may not ever leave their home?
WHY?????
Here's the current stats of a beautiful little girl who is being rescued.
And, yes, it IS a rescue. There is no other word for it.
Katie is 9 1/2 years old. YEARS, not months. Her parents will be bringing her home , by the grace of God, this weekend. They expect to take her directly from the plane to the hospital.
Her stats:
Weight – 10 pounds, 9 ounces
Length – 29 inches
Head circumference – 16 3/4 inches
Waist – 12 inches
Leg, hip to heel – 12 inches
Foot – almost 4 inches
Upper thigh circumference – 5 inches
Ankle circumference – 3 inches
Arm, shoulder to fingertip – 10 inches
Upper arm circumference – 3 1/4 inches
Wrist circumference – 2 3/4 inches
Reading that just now was the only reminder I needed to beg again for the children on the other side of the world that I love.
They all need families.
They all DESERVE families.
Please visit Reece's Rainbow and find out how you can help RESCUE a child.

You can get to any of these children's information through the links on their pictures on the left side of my blog.
Please, also, pray for Katie.

Love this post. I think people forget how very short this mortal life is. It's easy to lose focus on whats important....He never said it would be easy, only worth it.

Sweet Katie, praying, praying for her! I was reading a comment on my blog today from last spring from you about how great it would be to have our kids home! Made me smile. Yes it is good!
We're praying for Katie several times a day around here. Thanks for sharing her story, and those of the other children.
