PLEVEN CHILDREN NEED FAMILIES NOW!

PLEVEN...CHILDREN...HELP!!

All the children that I see or hear about that need a family break my heart!  Each child no matter the country nor the orphanage need a family immediately!  I am broken each time I learn of another child about to age out or in need of medical care but the children from locations that I have been to especially break my heart and make my heart cry out to the LORD to hurry bring a family!  I am very passionate about Russian children, Taiwanese children, Filipino children and Bulgarian children - WHY...because I have been there...I have seen...what is in my mind is not via a third party but from my own experience...the sight...the sound...the smell...the need...the poverty...the cries...THE TOUCH OF A CHILD'S HAND UPON YOUR ARM NOT TO LEAVE THEM....

DO SOMETHING...get the word out...don't just do nothing!  PRAY...share...help...advocate...come along side of another family...financially give to a family wanting to commit to adopt...OR ADOPT!  WE can all do something to help!!! 

Many of the children have needs that might be viewed as "NON REVERSIBLE" as I have heard it phrased...kind of a cold way to say...Worthless!  There is no life that is worthless.  We are all created in the image of GOD!  These little lives were created by the LORD ALMIGHTY.  Our little AVI - with spastic quadriplegia (severe cerebral palsy - having needed a feeding tube) is a life that many would say has NON REVERSIBLE conditions! 

OK...you tell me if this is a life that is worthwhile!

AVIGAYIL CHRISTINA CARPENTER IS A VERY WORTHWHILE LIFE!

AVI IS OUR DAUGHTER AND SHE IS PRECIOUS AND LOVED!

SHE HAS MADE HUGE PROGRESS FROM A LIFE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED NON-REVERSIBLE SPECIAL NEEDS!

LOOK AT HER!!!!

DO THESE WORDS SCARE YOU?         INFANTILE CEREBRAL PALSY...SPASTIC QUADRIPLEGIA...QUADRIC PARESIS...FEEDING TUBE...HYDROCEPHALUS...GLOBAL DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY...SWALLOW ISSUES...EPILEPSY...OPTIC NERVE AND SIGHT ISSUES...NON-VERBAL...WALKERS/WHEELCHAIRS...HYPOTROPHY...SEVERE MENTAL LAGGING BEHIND. IN PHYSICAL AND NEURO-PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT...SEVERE MALNUTRITION...JUST TO NAME A FEW...
DO THESE PHOTOS SCARE YOU?

THESE PHOTOS ARE 1 DAY OLD...FROM OUR BEACH VACATION ...THESE PRECIOUS GIRLS ENJOYED THE OCEAN AND THE SAND AND THE BOARDWALK AND LOTS OF TIME WITH FAMILY...WELL AVI LIKED THE WATER BUT LINA WAS NOT SO SURE OF IF SHE WANTED TO STICK HER TINY LITTLE TOES INTO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN...

WELL IF THE WORDS SCARE YOU BUT THE PHOTOS DRAW YOU THERE IS A PROBLEM...YOU SEE ALL OF THESE GIRLS HAVE PORTIONS OF ALL OF THESE "DIAGNOSIS" OR ALL OF THE ABOVE "DIAGNOSIS"...

SO IF THE PHOTOS DRAW YOU...PLEASE PLEASE STEP OUT AND DO SOMETHING...

There are many children just listed for adoption from PLEVEN and from other regions of Bulgaria with just these diagnosis...don't let the words scare you from doing something...LOOK AT THESE LIVES...There is so much life in these precious children!!!
