It was a year ago today that Mary came into our lives! This precious, beautiful girl is turning one TODAY! It's hard to believe that a year has passed since we first learned about her situation and her need for a family. We have fallen so much for with this child that lives thousands of miles away and we are trusting that God will bring her home soon. So today, on her birthday, we are thinking of her and loving her. Not only does this day remind us of her birth, but it also reminds us of her mother who died bringing her into the world. We are mindful of the pain that must be present in Mary's Grandmother's heart today. We are praying for peace, comfort and strength for her today.
If you feel led today to celebrate Mary's birthday, please visit the "How You Can Help" page on this blog. For those who may be wondering, the reason we are raising money for this adoption is because we have been sending money to support Mary and her Grandmother. Unfortunately, that takes away from money needed to go towards the other costs associated with the adoption (e.g. paperwork, lawyer's fees, travel costs, etc.). If you feel led to help, please do. Every penny goes toward bringing Mary home.
Thank you, again, for sharing in this journey. Please join us in wishing Mary girl a very Happy First Birthday!
We love you, Mary.
