A little while back we shared that we have had trouble getting the medical care here in our valley needed by Daughter of Purpose. After some additional research, advice from others and prayer we have decided to turn in an application for our daughter to Shriner's Hospital.
A little over a week ago, my friend "just happened" to be at Shriners for an appointment with her daughter. She was so awesome and shared with the doctors there about our predicament. The doctors told her that their experience with someone like our daughter is small, but they do have some experience. They told her to encourage us to apply. So we've done just that. We are encouraged that they have some knowledge and that they are a research hospital so I would imagine that if they don't have the answers, they will help us find them--unlike our experience so far.
We would appreciate your prayers as we now wait to hear back from Shriners. Please pray for the doctor who will review the medical information we have sent. Pray that they would be willing to see our daughter and that it would be soon.
1 Samuel 1:27 "I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him."
We traveled to a place that is about 14 degrees (on a good day) so that we could pick up our daughter. Were we crazy? Nope--we just have a heart that is open to following wherever God leads us to adopt.
If you've arrived at our blog because you are adopting from Murmansk, Russia and you want to learn more...you can either start at the beginning of our blog or you can work backwards from when we brought Daughter of Purpose home in May of 2008. We're so glad you're on the road to bringing an orphan into your family. It's at the center of God's heart!
