I have just spoken with the agency representing the precious baby girl who is in need of a family.... the response to her need has been overwhelming and can only be described as a movement of God's love on her behalf! It's been truly remarkable to witness!
The job of matching a child with his/her family is a tall order... home studies, support systems, capabilities, finances, location... there's so much to sort through to even consider someone as a 'candidate' for such a special, but complex baby girl. Those of us who have adopted know this all too well....
I have taken baby-girl's story down for the moment while the agency's special needs department sorts through and responds to each inquiry... it is of utmost importance to them that they respond to each and every inquiry and do their best to find the right match for her. If a family still has not been found in the next few days, we will repost! And as soon as she has found her family, we'll be the first to know!
If you're a family who inquired about her, please be patient! You WILL hear from her placing agency... give them some time and keep praying :-)

I am humbled beyond words at how fast and how far this baby's story has traveled... the intense love and heart for special needs adoption has been pulled out of so many hearts through her story!
Whether this was the first time your heart has been tugged at by adoption or whether it's been a constant ebb and pull that you've ignored for quite a while.... don't ignore your hearts this time, friends. This baby isn't the only one who needs a special family.... there are thousands more; overseas, in the US, and in your city and state. I'd like to encourage you to research local agencies and foster care systems.... let this baby girl's life leave a legacy by building your family through adoption!
In the mean time, please continue to pray for her... for her health and especially for the special family who's hearts are being prepared to welcome their baby girl home... even if they don't know it yet!
Where is baby K located?
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle! She's in Illinois :-)

DeleteIs she currently under the care of social services or a private adoption agency? Is she considered in foster care?
ReplyDeleteIf we could afford it we would take her in a heartbeat! I just highly doubt an agency would let us have her since my husband was unemployed last year so things are tight. I was telling him last night I dream nightly about someone just dropping a baby girl into our lives. She is beautiful.

ReplyDeleteThe answer is always no, unless you ask. Pray about it and look into it.
DeleteSo beautiful the way you are doing your part to help these babies find their forever homes. I feel that this may be in our future one day, but I just don't know when that will be. I was adopted as a young child so adoption has always been in my heart. As we grieve our own little girl, my heart aches for this little girl to have a family to love her. I pray that she will find the home God has planned for her soon!
ReplyDeleteWould out of state families be considered
ReplyDeleteI submitted our home study to them. Got a thank you email and that's all we've heard.

ReplyDeleteFor the family lucky enough to get this special angel....may I suggest a support group that we belong to? My daughter has a rare craniofacial condition, and we found a wonderful organization that has helped ease so many of the burdens and stresses associated with her condition- the Children's Craniofacial Association (www.ccakids.org) The angel women who work there will help guide you through care, provide you with a compassionate network of friends, and help you navigate her care. This baby will bring you more joy than you can imagine. Our little angel daughter has been the source of so much growth and happiness for our family. God Bless you Baby K! I hope to meet you at one of the yearly retreats one day!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, how I wish I could take her! How much does something like this
ReplyDeleteCost? She is absolutely precious!!!
my sister and brother in law are perfect. God told me to tell them. So I did. I feel like that is all I can do but I already feel like a change is present
