PLEASE PLEASE PRAY!!!







My online friend, Meredith and Mike Cornish, from Reece's Rainbow are currently in Ukraine right now doing an adoption of a precious little 4yr old girl who happens to have Down Syndrome. Well they have totally run into some problems, and we need everyone, everywhere to please lift them up to our Lord. They are a faithful, christian couple who have 2 biological children already one also has DS. They have stepped out in faith and started this journey to add to their family. The little girl in now aged out of the "baby house" and is currently living in a mental institution. They are trying to get the director to allow this adoption and sign the appropriate paperwork, but he is not being so cooperative. attached are some pictures of them meeting their "daughter in their hearts" little Sasha/Aleska.
The director is saying" She is not verbal so we dont know how she is going to bond with them. and I dont know if this is whats right for her. I am afraid that she is not going to have a good life and she will be discriminated against." Well HELLO MR. Director...... alot of our kids are not yet 100% verbal, and it does take them awhile to bond with us, it could take months, but she will be loved and adored....she will have a chance to life with a FAMILY and she will grow and develop. Living in an MENTAL INSTITUTION is NOT a good place for anyone.........
SO PLEASE PRAY FOR MIKE AND MERIDITH CORNISH.....IF YOU WANT TO FOLLOW ALONG AS WELL HERE IS THEIR BLOG http://www.cornishadoptionjourney.blogspot.com/
