Waiting Children

I almost daily get emails, facebook posts, etc. on orphans that are waiting for a forever family. Today's emails/posts tugged at my heart a little more than usual (if that's even possible) and so I thought I would share them with all of you.

The first email I had waiting for me when I woke up was from America World Adoption Agency. They are looking for homes for these beautiful boys waiting in China. Most people think only girls wait for homes in China but this is not true, there are many boys waiting as well. Here is the email:
"We would like to ask families to join AWAA in praying for the following four boys in our China Waiting Children program, who are currently looking for their forever family. We trust that God will move through our prayers on their behalf and we are eager to see all He will accomplish through our united prayers! Thank you for joining America World in committing these children to prayer.
Logan* is a smiley little 10 month old boy who likes to cuddle. His favorite time of the day is meal time! He enjoys attention and teasing, and laughs out loud when he is played with. He is also a good sleeper. Logan has repaired spina bifida and is a possible Hepatitis B carrier. He is an agency specific referral and is only available for families who have a dossier in China.
Aaron* is a cute 10 month old boy with a ready smile. He has discovered that he can roll over. He is a sound sleeper and likes to suck on his fingers while he sleeps. Aaron has been diagnosed with hypospadias, mild hydrocephalus and a congenital heart defect. He is an agency specific and special focus referral.
Colby* is a bright-eyed, handsome little boy who just celebrated his 5th birthday. Colby is a special focus referral and has been diagnosed with congenital meningocele, hydrocephalus and a genital malformation. He is enrolled in kindergarten and enjoys playing with other children. He is an active child who enjoys playing hide and seek, listening to music, and playing with animal toys.
Ethan* is a smart, active six and a half year old boy. He likes to watch cartoons and dances when he hears music. He is a social boy who enjoys playing with other children and likes to visit places with lots of people. He likes playing outside and one of his favorite toys is a toy cell phone. Ethan has a repaired cleft lip and palate and is an agency specific and special focus referral.
Please join us this month in praying for Logan, Aaron, Colby and Ethan. Please pray for their development and health, for their nannies/caretakers, and for a family to come forward for their adoptions.

The second one was actually on a post I follow on Twitter called heart4adopt. Each day they post children here in the US that are waiting, in hopes that they find them a forever home. Today's children are so precious. They are a sibling set of 4, yes 4! You can find out more about them by clicking this link and click on Wednesday's child. They update this site every day with a new child/children, so you can check back each day if you would like.

So if you know someone who is looking to adopt, please share this information. Please also pray that these children find a forever home soon! As always, please let me know if we can help you in any way.
