After reading this post and finding news out from my sweet friend. It is overwhelming. My heart is shattered.
There are children all over the world JUST like Teri Lynn. She isn't alone. I have never been so shattered as to when I read that post. I sobbed. I got chills. It shook my world. A little girl all the way in Eastern Europe. {That sounds terribly dramatic...it isn't, promise} She is the one we should look at every day and remember to pray. There are 146 million orphans just like her. Waiting.
Artem -- Waiting
Sweet Jacob, who I have been praying for for about 7 months now passed away. He had just been moved to an institution because he had turned 5 {like Teri Lynn}. He lived in Eastern Europe. He even had a family! and believe it or not, I was so attached to a little boy in a picture, who had stolen my heart. I had never met him, touched him, or been able to call him mine. But he was a part of me. {It sounds so weird to say, but it is so true}
Josie -- Waiting.
I am completely broken. I feel as if I could have done something to prevent it, even though I know I couldn't have. I trust God has a plan. God knew all the days of J's life and He KNEW what was going to happen. I feel that Jacob has been put in my life for a reason.
I am broken, for a reason. Something. HAS. TO. CHANGE.
Patrick -- Waiting
These children should not ever be forgotten. but, they are.
I am so thankful Jacob was NOT forgotten. He was SO loved. He was cherished. Prayed for. Why can't all of the children have something like this? Why can't they all be loved and prayed for. Why can't they all have families? People cared when something happened to Jacob, but there are 146 million who no one cares about.
Kiki -- Waiting
We as Christians cannot just stand here and WATCH as innocent children die every day. I know, people are doing amazing things. but, I feel helpless.
Priscilla -- Waiting
What can I do to change the life of another child so they do not have the same thing happen to them as Jacob or Teri Lynn? How can I change that? I can't adopt{yet}, unfortunately. But I CAN advocate. and THAT. I will do. I refuse to stand on the sidelines as innocent children each day die, forgotten, unloved, and considered "trash." Yes, Jesus loves them and holds them in His arms.
Sasha -- Waiting
I fight the anger of why this is happening. Why does God allow this? {I know He doesn't and I know He has a plan...Don't think I am questioning God...} But, Why do I sit in America, in a beautiful, fabulous life style and WATCH these children through blogs and websites slowly wither away. Each day. I am so much to blame. We ALL are.
Xander -- Waiting
If we are Christians, we are commanded to look after the orphans in their distress. We are not given an option. We are not nudged to do it. God does not just say "Well, if YOU want to" We are COMMANDED to do it. So, why do we all sit and watch?
Meet Lisa, she is my newest child to advocate and pray for. I have fallen in love with this beautiful girl.
She is in China. Please pray for her. Please spread the word. Help her and the rest of these kids. FIND. the forever family they DESERVE.
*Ok, so I know we don't all sit and watch but still most of us DO.
All of the children posted throughout the post are WAITING. They are the Teri Lynn's and Jacobs. They don't have a Mommy and Daddy. They don't have HOPE. Can you give that to them?
Please join me in praying, advocating, and doing everything we possibly can to make a difference.
These sweet children, pray for them! They are waiting, to be loved, cherished, and to be wanted. Are you called? We are ALL called to help. Maybe you can't adopt, but you can make a difference.
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.-Hebrew 10:23
When looking to adopt a child, many want a baby. I mean who wouldn't? A baby that you can cuddle, share firsts with, dress up, and with little girls, put big bows in their hair...I mean dude, me me! But, seriously. There are so many beautiful, precious waiting OLDER children. They all need a Mommy and Daddy just as much as the babies do. They still have plenty of "firsts" and I bet you can bribe them to dress up know that they want a Mommy and Daddy, they deserve one. What child doesn't deserve to be told they are loved, beautiful, precious and learn about Jesus?
When I saw this post on this blog, I knew I had to share it. She needs a family. Could you be the Mommy she so badly wants? Could you make her wish come true?
While in China I met a 13 year old girl. I will call her June.
Because she had a birthday while we were there. Unfortunately we did not know that. A June girl.
I actually wonder if she even knew it was her birthday. Something tells me they do not tell the kids, hey today is YOUR day!
Because she turned 13, it means she only has ONE YEAR left to find a family. Or she loses her chance, forever. At 14 they are to old.
So what becomes of her? We really do not know.
Here is what I know about June.
She is beautiful and her smile lights up her face.
She watches out for the little ones. One day she was upstairs with us and we were trying to get the kids downstairs. One of the little ones needs a walker, and we did not know where it was. We did not have to say a word, June was on it and ran off to help her little friend.
She attends school so we were not with her as much as some of the other kids. We know she can count in English and writes well.
She has palsey of the left limbs. But it did not seem to affect her.
Her favorite color is yellow.
And she wants a family. She told us this.
Because she only has ONE YEAR left, she needs her family to step up NOW.
It COULD be done.
So she might not be what you or I would typically think of when we think of adoption.
She is 13. she has lived in an orphanage her entire life. There will be issues to work through.
Though we did NOT see this side of her, she MIGHT be like any teenage girl.
MOUTHY & MOODY!
Or she might not, because she might just look at life a bit differently.
Regardless of any of that, she wants a family. She DESERVES a family, doesn't she?
She needs a daddy to tell her she is beautiful before she starts looking at boys.
She needs a mommy to take her shopping, fix her hair, talk to her about life.
She needs to hear about Jesus...
Please help me spread the word about June. WE can be her voice. WE can lift her up in prayer till she is home. WE could change her world.
Bringing June home is totally doable. She has a year. God has a family for this precious girl. Is it your family?
Please share and help June find her home!
This post is a bunch off jumbled up-ness.
So, bear with me {Ashton} as I just give you a few "announcements" then we shall get back to advocating. K? kay.
So, I am sure you noticed that SWW looks a bit different. Let us know what you think about the new blog design...Yay or Nay? Should we have stuck with the old design or do you like the little bit of color we threw in? Not that it is that important but we still would like to know :)
Another note, We have added a button to our side bar. This is an awesome way to share SWW with the world. And it is an easy way to "do your part" You never know if by sharing our button on your blog someone sees our website and finds their child! One less orphan and one more forever family! It can change lives. Just copy and paste the bottom part and put it in an HTML side on your sidebar and wahhlahhh. You got it! OK we are having technical difficulties with the button! We will let you know as soon as it as fixed! Sorry Guys!
**UPDATE. We have the blog button working again...The one on the sidebar works! Thank you so much for telling us! Please spread the word! :)
Ok, next up is the fun part. I am talking with Taylor about maybe doing something really fun. Our goal by August is to have 50 followers. That would be huge. 50 followers might not seem like a lot, but it is definitely getting our name out there. That is only{ha.ha.only} 30 more. So, Share, Share, Share, add our button, Like our Face*book page, tell your friends, and anything else you can think of. Get our name out there.
If we get 50 followers, we will have a surprise. Some giveaway, drawing, whatever it may be. {Give ideas on that too! Blog design, tshirt-ish, just random gift, etc etc}

GUO SHAO QIN HAS FOUND HER FOREVER FAMILY CONGRATS TO THEM AND HER!!!
Guo Shao Qin. Ah Qin, as we affectionately call her, is a young girl from an orphanage that we have been fostering now for 8 months. She was born in 2001 so is coming up 10 years of age. However, this is not her developmental age in many respects. Her stature is that of a 5 or 6 year old at best. She is not as tall as my own 7 year old daughter. She is healthy and fit, with no known physical problems other than a condition called Brachydactyly, which is a shortening of fingers and toes. It is only a physical symptom and most people do not notice it on her, which on Ah Qin means a slightly shorter than normal finger length most prominent on her little fingers. We got her glasses not long after arriving with us. She was assessed as having both short and long sightedness and amblyopia. However, with glasses she seems to be seeing well and no longer looking sideways while reading. Her manner is very sweet and she does not have any behavior problems. She is very compliant and obedient given the right direction. She responds well to guidance and discipline and can learn and fit into a family situation. In saying this, she does have some undiagnosed cognitive learning issues. I have found her to be intelligent but she has difficulty with verbal communication. She is improving the longer she is with us, and her desire to learn is normal. At this stage we are not engaging her in English as we do not know her future and do not want to hinder her development for a future in China. However, she has picked up a lot of English just by listening to us, even though we talk to her in Chinese. So, her learning capacity is there, but a combination of poor early childhood education and stimulation coupled with some cognitive issues does provide her with a learning barrier. We have employed a tutor to work with her and she is showing signs of learning albeit painfully slow at times. But she is learning. She actually shows good understanding of processes and systems and will learn very well by observing. She will watch me doing cleaning in the home and she will have already figured out that I need the broom or a rubbish bag or a cloth, without me asking. So, her interpretive and sequential ability is quite intact (on the whole). She is a very sweet young girl who shows and needs a lot of affection and love. She is very easy to care for fits well into a family situation. She longs for a family, and to be loved and cared for. She so desperately wants to call us mum and dad, but we have not allowed this as I will not be her long term parents. We have not given her an English name, preferring to leave this to an adoptive family to do. She would benefit greatly by the right schooling and assessments and I believe (and I am not an expert) she could learn to live an independent life given the right support and guidance. She could easily fit into a class with 5 year olds and start right from the beginning because of her physical stature. There is no need to look on her as a 10 year old, as even emotionally she is not at this age.
Here foster mother wrote this about her. What a blessing she will be. How amazing does this sweet girl sound?! She would be a perfect little Princess to add to your family. Is God calling YOU?
Gracie is a very special little girl who has touched my heart without me ever meeting her. Her two hands and forearms are under-developed. Her elbow joints can move freely. Sometimes, just after she has fallen asleep, she will use the ends of her arms to rub her nose. When sitting on her own, she will extend her two arms to find her center of gravity to balance. Her personality is cheerful. She rarely cries and fusses. She likes for people to talk to her. When speaking to her, her eyes will keep staring at you and she will smile at you. She likes for people to hold her. When the nannies hold her, she is very excited. Her eyes look around in all directions, watching people go this way and that. Sometimes she will lay by herself on the rocking chair and listen to music; her two legs kicking this way and that – her body makes the chair rock. Her reactions are very quick. As soon as there is sound or movement, she will turn her face to look; when you open the door, she will hear the sound of the door and immediately look to doorway to see who is who's coming. She is special focus and waiting on an agecy specific list for her momma please email me if you would like to know more on Gracie!! tsw1203@aol.comGRACIE IS MATCHED WITH HER FOREVER FAMILY!!! CONGRATS TO THEM AND HER!!!
Todays kids are waiting here in the States for families both of these little ones adoptions are dissolving and there families are hoping to place them into a loving environment that is better equipped to handle their needs. They were both adopted from Ukraine.
Next is Nadia, a very intelligent, healthy, energetic 11 year old girl who was adopted from Ukraine in June 2010.She is a hard worker &enjoys helping. She is very outgoing &will take on any task. She is happy when she is doing something or has someones undivided attention. She enjoys outdoor activities swimming, riding bicycles, soccer, as well as arts& crafts.She can be very sweet & generous. She has few friends as she tends to smother other children with too many words and too much energy. She is very motherly to younger children often picking them up. She is kind to animals. She very much enjoys learning & is happy to do her homework as well as memorize Bible verses for her church group. She is currently in 4th grade at a public school. She likes going to school and church, but occasionally struggles with respect of adults. She was raised from birth in an orphanage with little supervision & will tell you to your face that she can behave when she wants to.
If you would like to know who to contact for more info on these little ones please email me tsw1203@aol.com
I have advocated for this little guy for a while and he is still waiting and I know it is because he has a heart defect on the more serious end (TOF) and an exposed bladder but he is beyond sweet and after his heart and bladder are fixed he will be a normal litte boy basically. He was born July 2008 and Thomas is his American name he is agency specific and I know nothing about the agency he is listed with.
