Our Adoption Journey--Freedom from Hunger and Thirst

This Sunday was such a blessing for my family to share with you our adoption journey. We have already been on the road for sometime now and so having the freedom to tell all of you what the Lord has been doing is very liberating. We want to share the journey with you. We need your support and your prayers in order to bring Siddhi home.

Let me bring you up to speed. Siddhi is a little girl who is in the orphanage that the REACH Teen Ministry assisted by sending them much needed baby formula of a special type that was not available in India. She is 8 lbs and 10 months old--tiny. But her name means something very special--freedom from hunger and thirst. My heart breaks and cries even as I write these words. In fact words cannot describe how much love we already have for our little girl in India.

We are praying that the adoption is able to speed up because of her health. She needs good care and needs to get healthy. We know we can offer her both. She also needs a father and a mother and family who love her. We are on a fast track to bring Siddhi home and we are trusting the Lord that she will be home in his time.

How can you help? We know that many of you will already be praying for us. Pray that the Lord would guide us clearly every step of the way and that we would trust in Him as our refuge in all of this. Pray for Siddhi's health and that she would be safe in His loving hands. God truly does have the whole world in his hands--even this little girl.

We also are in need of financial assistance to bring Siddhi home. Adoption is expensive. It will cost upwards of 25,000.00 to complete the adoption. Somehow the Lord has given us the funds to keep moving forward yes we have our biggest financial burdens ahead of us in a few short weeks. I know that the Lord will provide. If you are able to help in this area we would be humbled and blessed beyond words. I have included the information you can use to support us at the end of today's post.

Thank you so much for your support and your prayers on this journey. If you would like to receive upates just shoot me a line at dbetters@grpc.org and I will add you to our support list.
