Please Pray for Susy!


 November has been designated as National Adoption Awareness Month. According to Adoption.com

this is how it came about. “Started in 1976 by Massachusetts Michael Dukakis as a week to recognize adoption, popularity for the idea grew until 1984 when President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the first National Adoption Week. President Bill Clinton then expanded the week into a month and declared November 1995 as the first National Adoption Month. “

Today is also the first day of Reece's Rainbow's “Angel Tree.” I have the privilege of being the warrior for “Susy,” What does this mean? First of all it is my job to keep her sweet face and story out here so she isn't forgotten. It is also a goal to raise funds towards a grant to be available to help with her adoption costs. And last, but not least I am advocating and PRAYING for her. That is our emphasis today. Will you join me? Will you pray for Susy? Will you pray that her parents see her and begin the process to bring her home?

Realizing how easy it is to forget good intentions, I've printed this photo and put it where I will see it to remember to pray for Susy. In fact I have printed several. If you will commit to pray for Susy this month I'll be happy to mail you one to use a reminder.  If you send me your address at

grant4susy@gmail.com

I'll mail it right out to you. Thank you for your heart for the orphan and for standing with me to ensure that Susy is not forgotten.

UPDATE:  My advocacy for Susy has paid off, and she has a family working hard to quickly process their paperwork!  WE ended up getting our Preapproval from China in December of 2015.  We are thrilled that we get to be her parents!
