Caring for the least of these...

I wanted to take a moment to write of a friend of mine that i have never actually met. She is a dear Christian woman with a huge heart for the orphaned children of the world. Her name is Adeye and she is South African although she and her husband reside in Colorado . She has 3 biological sons and 2 Chinese daughters. Both daughters happen to have special needs. I met her through a mutual friend's blog last February and we have been corresponding ever since. This past week Adeye announced that she and her husband had decided to adopt again. They had come across a little girl in desperate need of a family. She is 4 years old and weighs only 15 pounds! She also has beautiful blue eyes and happens to have Down Syndrome. They are in a race against time for a myriad of reasons. They put a "chip in " on their blog in an attempt to raise money through anyone who wants to care for orphans but cannot adopt themselves. Her blog is " No Greater Joy Mom " and there is a link to it on my blog list. They have decided to name this child Hailee and there is a sweet photo of her on the blog. I wanted to write of this family because they amaze me. This couple willingly seeks out and embraces difficult situations with the same enthusiasm of a school boy jumping into the first day of summer.Even within the body of Christ, this capacity for servitude is rare. Not many people come across my blog, but i still felt compelled to post about this family. You never know what God has in mind. You never know who might want to be a part of this miracle. Please consider giving to bring Hailee home.
