You can help change a life!



I'm so excited for a sweet bloggy friend of mine because she is is going to be able to bring her daughter home from China in only three weeks!

Here's a part of the post TanyaLea wrote recently...

"Khloe Mei, as we have named her, will be coming home soon. She just turned two back in Feb. and we are beyond excited to meet her in person! Khloe resides at New Day Foster Home near Beijing where she is thriving and growing into a fun little toddler. She arrived there at barely 3mos. old, in dyer need of their top-notch love and care. Khloe was born with a condition called bladder exstrophy, where her bladder was literally exposed on the outside of her body. Because of her more serious need, not even the larger city hospitals were equipped to handle her case. At just over 8mos. old, Khloe traveled with her caregivers to Hong Kong to undergo various tests and meet with specialists to prepare for the extensive surgery. On Sept. 20th, 2008, she underwent her long and complicated surgery, and it was clear she was not alone...God was there with her! She experienced great 'miracles' that are now part of her testimony, and ours. You see, I was part of the emergency prayer team and had the privilege of praying for this sweet baby girl, long before I knew she would one day be our daughter! (I will share "our story" on our family blog sometime in the not-to-distant future; I promise!! ...It is a neat one, with God's fingerprints all over it!) Khloe is now a flourishing toddler and our family is beyond ready to have her home!"

It's been exciting to follow along with this family as they've gotten closer and closer to holding Khloe in their arms. My prayer is that every orphan will have a loving family working this hard to bring them home.

They are so close and yet this last step of traveling to China to get Khloe is going to cost a lot of money that they don't have right now. That is why an awesome fundraiser is going on to try to help reduce that burden a bit.
