Why you can't see them...

One of the things I can’t help thinking is how much people would be impacted if they could see pictures of our girls.  If I could just put their photos on Facebook or Twitter, the response to their cuteness would be overwhelming; we would have our miracle in minutes.  But we can’t post and pics.  Know why?  Cause we live in a messed up world where evil people sell children for profits.  Child trafficking is a terrible problem around the world and, in an attempt to protect innocents, most countries prohibit displaying images of orphans to prevent advertising children to monsters.  I totally agree with this.  Anything that can be done to protect kids, I’m all for.  I still wish you could see our daughters.

I’m looking at there pictures right now.  They are so beautiful and yet so broken.  You can see that they need someone to hold them, someone to cuddle them, someone to tell them that they are loved.  We so desperately want to be those people.  One thing that you would notice right away is that they don’t smile in any of the pictures.  They look so sad and serious.  I don’t know if it’s cultural or if they are told not to smile.  All I know is that I look at them and want to see them laughing.  Life has stolen joy from these girls.  Life has stolen their smile.  I am determined to get it back for them!

Would you help me?  Would you help me find joy for these girls that you can’t see but who need your help so much?  If we don’t help them who will?  Please take a moment and click the link on the side of this page and give a donation to bring them home.  Julie and I will go get them, bring them into our family, and love them as our own.  But we need your help to make that happen.  Please help us save them.  I know we can do this!

When we do get them home, I’ll make you this promise.  I’ll take some pictures and post them for you to see.  I can guarantee they will be smiling. How can I be sure?  I’ll buy them ice cream.  You can’t help but smile the first time you have ice cream.  Then you will be able to see the joy that you helped return to these little girls!
