Christian

If you remember awhile back, I was advocating for sweet Joseph who was close to aging out...I am happy to say that he met his family yesterday and is doing well. I am posting today about his friend/roomate from his orphanage, named Christian. He came with Joseph to say goodbye the day he met his family and he has asked the director when he could have a family. This tears me up...to know that he went with his friend to see him received with love into a family, all the while wondering when it will be his turn. You have to know that he wonders if it ever will. His birthday is Dec 1, 1999 and it won't be long until it will be too late for him too. The orphanage director says he is such a good boy and has a wonderful personality. I want to do all I can to help him find a home so he can experience the love that he has witnessed his friend Joseph receive. Please pray about what you can do! Is God tugging at your heart to do something in the life of a child. What better use of our lives than to make a true difference in the life of a child!!! Here is a picture of Christian:

I woke up this morning with advocacy on my mind and laid there and thought about kids for a while...it has been a while since I posted and I was thinking of all the kids and how many need someone to speak up for them...why has it been a month or more since I posted anything?? Feeling convicted, I open up an email from a friend that says in a nutshell..".saw this precious baby, and thought you might want to advocate for her"...I get it, Lord! I am back on it!!! This sweet girl is considered 'unadoptable' by her orphanage...find out more about her story here.
I love these kids...once you see that they are REAL children in need RIGHT NOW...it is different! Let one of them bless your life....

What a precious boy!!!!! When I think of Easton, I can't help but think of my own son, who is 9 1/2...CANNOT IMAGINE his photo on a site like this!!! When I think of all my son deserves and would be without, it makes my heart hurt for Easton. Especially when you see the video and his artwork that he is working on...it is beautiful and he deserves to have it high on the refrigerator, posted proud by his mommy and daddy!! How I pray that we would be a people filled with empathy and compassion which would cause us to ACT!!! Please contact me for more information about Easton at jenpmorrison@gmail.com

Joseph

This is a precious boy that I have posted about before and I will have to be honest, he has a special place in my heart. He ages out in December. He is a wonderful boy that lost his father at age 10, so he has only been in the orphanage a few years and has known what it is like to have family. His file says he is kind young man and he is eager to be adopted. He desperately needs someone to step out in faith on his behalf. I ask you to consider adopting him. Maybe you haven't considered adopting an older child, but please consider it today....maybe he is the child that would make your family complete. I am praying daily for this young man's family to find him. Could it be you??? I would love to see what the love of a family could do in those sad eyes...I want to see him happy!!



*He is listed on Lifeline Children's Services website as Thomas, but I had previously advocated for him as Joseph*

With a heavy heart,

Only a few days left for these 8 kids....

Of the kids on this site that are on an agency list...only 8 still need a family.....
Joseph2
Micheal
Macey
Serena (Serena is a beautiful girl..you may find more pictures and info on her here)(MATCHED)
Brooke (MATCHED)
Zachary
Micah
Jeremy (matched)

there are only a few days left and these children will no longer have their files with a specific agency (Lifeline Childrens Services). As they have been on their special focus list, they have gotten more exposure and have been advocated for. Once back in the shuffle of the shared list, it is much harder to find families because there are so many children and inevitably, they aren't as visible...please consider bringing one of these children home!!!

**Joseph & Andrew are on the shared list, not on the agency list**

Joseph2 & Macey

Interested in adoption??? Or, if you would like to get more information on any of the children listed, please message me. Many of these children only have days before they are taken off of the agency specific focus list (where they are advocated for with more information and pictures) and returned to the large shared list, where their file has a great chance of being lost in the sea of faceless files....please consider taking a step of faith today on behalf of one of these deserving children.

Joseph2 (since there is one other Joseph)
male, 2 years old

Macey
female, 6 years old

Why do they have to wait?

So many children are out there..some in situations better than others. We are in the middle of our busy lives, worrying about our schedules, cable bills and cell phones, the latest technology, how we look, what we drive and if we measure up to those around us...meanwhile, these kids are in need of family. It is SO easy to close our eyes and steer clear of the need--if we don't look, it doesn't affect us--trust me, I have been there...it is so easy to keep it just out of our mind's reach. But, these are innocent children...they need love, food, care and nurturing...someone to kiss the hurts away and give them loving 'mommy and daddy' attention. They deserve to laugh and be carefree-to enjoy being children....but for many, every month and year that passes, the more unlikely it is that they will be adopted, more unlikely that anyone will look at their file and actually consider them. I pray that as word gets out about these kids, people will be convicted to honestly look at their lives and evaluate if they would be open to adoption. What is God calling you to do in a child's life??? We don't want to face it.....SO THEY WAIT....

"Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act." Proverbs 24:12
