I'm supposed to be doing so many things to get ready for our trip but first I need to write this post. You see I have this friend. Some would say she's a pretend friend since I have never actually met her. That's important because even though I have never met her I think she is beautiful!!! I mean really beautiful!!!

This friend of mine that will remain nameless, until I feel like telling you :), just adopted an amazing child with special needs. She is now going back for not one but two more children with special needs. Soon. Even though she has only been home a few months. Why? Because she is beautiful but I'm blessed because I know lots of beautiful people like that!!

Now in case you didn't know this when you go back even when it is so soon you have to repay all of your fees. That's around 25,000 for the first child and then 25,000 to go back for another child and then another 5,000 plus to add the third child. We all have 55,000 just lying around right ?

But I still haven't told you why my friend is so beautiful. They could use financial support. Do you think their asking anyone for it? No. Instead she has advocated for and been the catalyst to find families for many of the other kids that came from her child's orphanage. (Including our sweet Alexis)

But that's not all. She also is encouraging others to help support the families adopting those children. And then to top it all off when she should be writing posts to help her raise support she goes and writes this:

Yep, that my friends is what I think of when I think of beautiful. Wouldn't you agree? You know what would be amazing? If everyone who reads this would donate to my friend's adoption. Seriously, even if it is just a little bit you don't know how encouraging it is to see that donation number go up! I would love to write her a big fat check to cover her adoption but I can't so would you help to bless her? To bless the two sons she is about to bring home. I'll even tell you her name.....Renee :)

  3. Not even a day old and this post is already out of date.

    Renee just announced that she and her husband will be fulfilling Emma's prayers for 'two brubbahs and a sistra'!!!

    They are one amazing trio (soon to be a family of 6)!

  4. I too loved to read her blog and I really think she's amazing! Her posts are always so well written. I got so happy to see that they'll fulfill sweet Emma's wish, but then today the blog was private :-( I understand that they must be cautious but I still got sad. Hope they'll open it up once they're home again!
