It's been an amazing day, and I am totally in awe of what God can do through those who love Him and love children. There's a darling little girl on our agency's waiting child list. She's been there for about 6 months, and she desperately needs a family. Her needs are fairly significant and her future is unclear. But, there is a family who wants to bring her home. They just recently returned from China with a boy who has severe heart issues. Joey went almost directly from the airport to the hospital for open heart surgery and is now growing and thriving. His adoption means this family isn't just "rolling in money." The little girl, Brighton, has a grant associated with her adoption to help with the costs. Today, her hopeful momma posted a note to the agency's bulletin board, letting the families there know that they would proceed if they could raise approximately $2500 in a few weeks. She asked us to pray for them. Someone asked her to pull together a webpage for Brighton and allow families to become "Brighton's village." She did--with a "chip-in" on the site for people to donate. In about 8 hours, people have donated over $3600 to cover the out of pocket costs--the Immigration paperwork that leads to a US visa, the homestudy, and the collection and authentication of the paperwork needed for a dossier. It has been exciting to see God move to give this young girl a chance, a hope for life!

Honored to be part of such an incredible group,
Jennifer
