Never forgotten

This has been sitting in my draft folder for far too long. As the year mark of when the ban happened came up I was so busy with the Holidays & family I did not get a chance to sit down to write what is on my heart. Firstly I want you to watch this video. These are the parents who had met their children & then the ban happened so they had to leave them behind. My heart is truly broken with them that they might never see these babes again. Some of them may get adopted in their own country but chances are slim for those kids who have 

special needs. Next, take a moment to go read the Hat Story

I was so blessed to play a part of this story & help a girl I love dearly. She says it better in her post then I can describe. 
To the girls that hold a piece of my heart, I long for the day when you both can find families who love you endlessly.

I'm greatful that your loved my darling shooting star but it still is nothing compared to the love of a family. I ache with every breath everytime I look at the play house at Sams Club & remember that day I pictured you & your friend, Natasha playing in that house. So, this time when I went past the playhouse I know I needed to take a picture to show everyone a glimpse of what I was visioning inside my head. I managed not to sigh or cry this time but it did make me sad a little to take this photo & realize you might never get to play inside it. Darling girl, if ever your country changes its mind I'm gonna save to get you & your friend a playhouse no matter if I have to save every single penny for awhile. It may not be this same one but I know it's every little girls dream to have a playhouse. 

To my other darling, I long to know if your okay. It breaks my heart everytime I think of you. No updates or photos. I try not to worry but it scares me the not knowing. Know that I love you sweet girl & praying your being loved in some way!

And I can't forget my prayer child Alden,

My sisters "look alike" (picture from when she was much younger on left side)

Finally Precious Carmen,

FACES REMEMBERED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN! Lifting them all up in prayer & sending them love from afar.  PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THESE PRECIOUS FACES & SAY A PRAYER FOR ALL THE BABES STUCK IN R****A!
