The following is an email from a dear friend, regarding another dear Christian family. May the Lord impress us to offer our prayers and help to them in their time of need!
The Redmans, have been waiting to adopt twins
(they're actually triplets, but sadly the little boy died) for some years now.
Due to corruption concerning adoptions in Liberia, the government shut down
their international program as they endeavour to implement a system with better
checks and balances. Unfortunately, this has left a lot of legitimate orphans
without families, and so the Redmans continue to wait to bring those girls home.
In the meantime, they've been supporting the girls financially for all this
time.
More recently, they were made aware of a little girl who was so severely
malnourished that the powers that be relented and released her for adoption,
recognizing that if she isn't given immediate care she will likely die. The
Redmans have decided to adopt this little girl, despite knowing that she may be
developmentally, and is certainly physically, delayed due to the severe
condition of her little body.
Currently the Redman's are fundraising in order to raise sufficient funds to
complete the adoption costs and travel to Liberia to bring this little girl
home. They're hoping to do so as soon as possible.
I know that many are strapped financially right now, and many have or are giving
to various other very worthy causes. I thought I'd just bring this
need to your attention in order for you and your family, or even your church
family, to consider whether or not you might be able to do something to assist
the Redmans in bringing this little girl home to their loving family.
Also, Carrie is pregnant! So do pray for
her, that if the Lord permits them to adopt the little girl from Liberia, Carrie
will be strengthened to the task of caring for a newborn, as well as a very
needy baby.
The following is an email from The Redman family, and where they can be reached. Thank you!
Baby Survivor was abandoned by her mother and grandmother. Her grandmother brought her to the orphanage when she was a few months old and she weighed less than 5 pounds. She is now up to 14 pounds and growing.
We need to raise $6500 more for the adoption to be complete and then we can travel. Our family would be honored to have your prayer support as we continue to walk this road toward bringing Survivor home.
Please feel free to share our story with others on your blog, email, Facebook or where ever. We do have a several fundraisers lined up in the next month or so. We are also selling one of our vehicles to help raise funds. We have a paypal button for donations on our website....
