Would you all please pray for a family for a very precious little girl in China? She is 8 years old and was born with a very severe heart defect. We have been wanting to bring home one more Chinese daughter for years now, and we wanted her to be the one! We've been getting our paperwork together and even calling her Karoline. My dds Annie and Jane even re-arranged their room for her. Yesterday, the adoption agency told me that China is enforcing some new rules early (we thought we'd squeek in under the old rules before the May 1 deadline) and because my amazing and wonderful dh uses a wheelchair, they won't allow us to have her. We have 5 adopted children, including 2 from mainland China, and he's a terrific Dad. He just does everything sitting down.
Well, we have our grieving to do, but I wanted to post this in the hope that maybe there is a wonderful 4real family who might be interested in adopting her. From what I've gotten in medical reports (and I have a DVD of her cardiac catheterization as well) she does not seem to have pulmonary hypertension, which means that she is a good candidate for surgery for her pulmonary atresia. The description of this amazing angel girl makes her sound so very easy to love.
Would you all please pray that she can find a family soon? She will not survive to adolescence if she does not have a few surgeries. If anyone is seriously interested in adopting her you can pm me and I can give you the name of the agency (a very nice one) that has her on their waiting child list. This darling will always be in my heart, but it would be such a comfort to know she had been adopted, had her surgery, and was thriving in a loving family.
Thanks for praying for her!

Praying for Karoline. How I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that name and I'm certain our dear Papa will join us in prayer for his namesake. And praying for you, dear Mary Alice. What a heavy cross to bear! Did you read Diane's recent post about failed adoption?
I'm so sorry you and your family have to grieve this way.
Okay, Ladies, let's find this little girl a home and a healthy heart!

Oh Mary Alice, I would welcome this sweet girl in a second if I could! My heart goes out to you---how devastating this must be.  Please believe that you are playing a vital role in her life, exactly the role that God has chosen for you, although it might not feel that way right now. I know it's so very hard.
I will be praying for this dear girl and her future family as well as for you and your family, as you begin the process of letting go. May you experience the peace of Christ in your hearts and the comfort of our Blessed Mother in your sorrow.
