ROG kiddos

When we visit the B’s some of our best memories are made with just being with the kiddos.

I can’t really explain in words how special they are.

How they just brighten the room by their smile.

Hearing them sing Jesus Loves Me is so moving.

God really, really, really LOVES these kids.

There is a batch of paperwork that needs some prayer!  When we were in Guiyang doing the “official” part of Josie’s adoption we found out the papers are still in a desk draw just waiting to be sent up to the CC*A. And then some of these kiddos will be paperwork ready to be adopted!

Please pray that they will be released SOON so these kids have a chance of getting a forever family….

Daniel, Elijah and David are still at the orphanage in XY.  Please continue to pray for them.

Elijah was “featured” in this blog: http://hannahjiejie.wordpress.com/2012/02/04/what-he-needs/

He really needs a forever family. He will just thrive!

If anyone of you feels called to pursue any of these children please just shoot me an email (ljhtjl@embarqmail.com) and I will be happy to give you more info.  I could talk about them all day long!

Some of their files aren’t prepared yet…but if the director knew that a family was seriously considering adopting one of these children he would be inclined to do their paperwork!

Daniel REALLY, really, really wants a forever family….

These kids are not “easy” to place.  But they are the ones who need a family the most!

  And if it was “easy” we wouldn’t need Jesus right?!?!!?

Hesed b-day (2)

Hesed is 9 years old and has moderate/severe CP.  She is sitting soooo much better this year and not as floppy as before!  She is getting stronger and stronger!!! PTL

Baby Olivia gets PLENTY of snuggles and lovin’s….she is just precious.  She is just a little over a month old.  She probably will be adopted in country as she doesn’t have any “real” need. Josie really enjoyed being able to feed her a bottle one more time.

And then there is dear Le Le. I just gave you some insight into my thoughts on her in this post 

She is a year old.

Continue to pray for emotional healing for Salome and that she will grow in God’s love.  She is a sweet girl….and that her forever family will be able to adopt her soon.

Precious, precious Ellie….her airway is very “floppy” and she has a hard time breathing.  She can get very distressed and can’t breath easily.  And it is a struggle to feed her.  Prayers for healing would be appreciated!

Benjamin has hydrocephalus and isn’t very mobile.  But is a very sweet boy!  He laughs a lot and it was fun to see him this time around.  He will be 6 in May.

And last but not least….Timothy.

This boy….it is sooo dear.  He LOVES to give hugs.  He calls me Auntie Nea which melts my heart.

He just got the Bible on MP3 format.  He LOVES it.  He is blind and has CP but can walk and is VERY smart.

He really wants a forever family.

In fact on Sunday morning he called Steve “daddy”

L. laughed saying that he knows that the Hamy’s come and adopt so he wants in on the “action”

He is a very special member of the ROG household and we love him to pieces!
