The sister compromise

Funny, Abby never wanted a sister before.  For a couple of years, when we were thinking we might adopt again, we would ask Abby if she wanted a sister and she always said no.  I'm thinking now that she's outnumbered 3 to 1, she's changed her tune. Recently she started asking about a sister.  Oh boy!  Well, we informed her that we didn't feel God was calling us to adopt again, and we are quite full and happy.  So, a compromise was reached.  We signed up to sponsor a 9yr old girl in Ghana, Africa with Compassion International.  Rebecca lives with her 3 siblings and mother and had been waiting for a sponsor over 6months!  We let Abby pick what country, age, child and all.  Bless sweet Rebecca, she is a beautiful girl.  We will pray for her and write her letters.  I'm so excited that Abby picked Ghana because that is where Touch A Life works(You know, Jantzen's Gift, the book you HAVE to read!!!!!??) to rescue child slaves.  Also, our adoption agency, Dillon International has a new program in Ghana.  So I feel more connected to Ghana now.  We would love love love to take Abby to visit someday.  Hmmm, that's a lot of faithwalking and saving for that trip!

 For only 38.00 a month(one meal out!) you can change a child's life!
