As most of you know, two of my passions are adoption and Haiti. I have been so blessed with my adoption experience. Regrettably things don't always turn out so well. I read about a situation where a family is needing to find another family for their son. It is truly heartbreaking. The mother saw that I had read her post and that I was concerned about the situation and she asked if I would post a picture of her little boy on my blog and also put a link to her blog in hopes of giving a greater chance for this little boy to find a family. Also, I know that Corey would be grateful if any of you would consider putting a similar post on your blog with the same hope that somehow, some way, the right person's heart will be touched. This beautiful boy is only 8 years old. Surely there is hope for him yet.

A Family Needed

I just read her post and it just made me sick sick sick. It is terrible -- why must innocent little ones be so harmed and injured that they seem to only be able to continue that cycle themselves. It is so unfair, and so awful, and here this boy is -- a person, a child of God, is there nothing good and right and FIXED ahead for his life?
Shan what is really sad is your comments will be about half what they are with cheery posts. BUt I will keep this boy in my prayers. And read the other blog. I love you and I love your heart.
I read the blog on this boy. I don't know what to say...first I am so sad this woman even thinks anyone would judge her...any logical person reading her blog should at least understand her horror and sadness. I am going to post to her because I am fairly close through my adoption work to three people who have disrupted. One's adopted son strangled the baby kittens and said he wanted to kill the Mom. She found him by her bed one night with a knife..he was 7!! These kids need help but sadly I do not know personally of people that are willing, understand and can care for such a child. I know they are out there but where?? Kids like these deserve help and love much like a relative of ours but may not be able to live in a regular home. Perhaps parents with NO children who are older and as the mother says, are VERY familiar with RAD could do it. At this time I don't know of such people but I will keep her and this cute boy in my prayers and mind. It is so, so sad to me how many families (me included) who only wanted to adopt to help someone and give them a chance with a family. We all thought LOVE would be enough...sadly it is not for many, many children.
I Kathy Junk am Anonymous. I can't get your darn blog to ever accept my comments with my password....Love ya Sis
I've spent about an hour reading this post and then the follow-up comments and then connecting to other people's blogs who are having the same sorts of problems with their adopted children, and I just feel sick--pain for these parents and then guilt for the relief that washes over me knowing how wonderful Mia is and all of the problems she could be having but isn't. She is and was amazing right from the start loving, funny, caring, and giving. How come I got to have such great treasures, my kids, bestowed on me?
Oh, that is awful. I am with Nancy, that it just makes you sick to think of what that poor boy has been through, and even more sick that his little sisters have now been scarred. I HAVE to believe that the Lord can heal ALL wounds. I hope that there is someone out there who will help AngryBoy. And I will say prayers for this family!
I read about this little boy last week and I can't get him out of my mind. I hope and pray that someone comes forward to help him & help him heal. When I read stories like this I am always filled with gratitude that the Lord knew what I could handle and sent the specific children he did to my home. I am also filled with gratitude that none of my adopted children have huge issues, even though at times I may make mountains out of mole hills, their issues aren't that big in the eternal perspective.
