Prayers for the babies and an AWAA family

Hi all,

I am so sad to have to post this. An AWAA family that received a referral of a 2 month old girl at the end of July has lost their precious baby girl. She was hospitalized with pneumonia earlier this week and last night God brought her home to be with Him. My heart aches for this family. Please lift them up in prayer and also lift up all the babies in our agency's Transition House (place where they go when they have been matched to a family and are just waiting for the paperwork for the adoption to be finalized), as well as the director and nannies at the Transition House. Many of the babies if not most have upper respiratory infections and it can also be common to get an intestinal parasite. Please lift up their tiny immune systems to the Lord for protection.

Thanks for your prayers for our kiddos in Ethiopia. I've become e-friends with many families, and we really are one big Ethiopian adoption family. It's so hard to see another family hurting like this and to see our precious babies fighting so much sickness.

Julia (and Roscoe),

I'm extremely touched by where your life has taken you. Congrats on your baby boy, no matter where he currently is right now. I'm sure your home will be such a warm and safe place for this child to grow up. My prayers are with you and your family.
