Miracles

In the midst of all the sadness we see, it is so wonderful to hear a "happy ending." Yesterday, we were so glad to hear one of those...at the home we are visiting this week, there is a teenage girl named Milagros, which means "miracle" in Spanish..and her story is a true miracle. She has no family and has moved from one orphanage to the other...but about two years ago, an American came to visit and fell in love with her. She said she cried so much when he left...but the story didn't end there. The American and his wife (who already have five other children!) are in the process of adopting her and three other girls from this orphanage! This is unusual, b/c you usually cannot choose the children you want to adopt, and Milagros is 16, and older kids have a slim chance of being adopted. Milagros said this is her dream come true..you can just see the joy and excitement written on her face. She is busy practicing and studying her English. The four girls already call each other sisters and will be leaving for the USA as soon as paperwork/visas are finalized.
Please pray for Milagros, as well as a sweet pregnant girl named Andrea. Sorry there are no pictures...later!
