There is a family in the Ukraine right now adopting a little boy named Joseph with Down syndrome.   While there, there was a little girl in a pink skirt who loved them so much.  They decided to try to adopt her too while there.  She has an unrepaired cleft palate and HIV and the sweetest heart.  While pursuing this last minute adoption, Mrs. Urban started becoming overwhelmed with her special needs and all it took to adopt her.  Her husband wrote her this:


 Lk 10:30-35
  Jesus answered by telling a story.  There was once a child living in an
orphanage near Kiev. On her way into this world she was infected with a deadly
disease from her mother. She left her, not caring wether her daughter lived or
died. Care takers took her to the orphanage where they watched her for 5 years.


Luckily, the pastor was on his way down the same road, but when he saw the
little girl, he angled across to the other side, and avoided her, reasoning one
must use their God-given wisdom in these situations.


Then a local Christian man, showed up at the orphanage; he also avoided the
hurting little girl saying to himself, someone will eventually care for her. I
have 3 children now and they are all I can handle. I just can't take on another
responsibility. I cannot afford to send 4 kids to college.

Then, a man who saw God's heart traveled down the road, on purpose, and came
to her orphanage to visit the beautiful young girl. When he saw the little
girl's condition, his heart went out to her with overwhelming compassion and
love.


He gave her medical attention, and special medicine to help her get better.
Then he lifted her into his arms and led her through the court system of her
country, all along helping her feel loved, wanted, special and valued.


Then one morning he took out money and a large stack of papers and gave them
to a judge, saying, Take good care of her for 10 days. I will be back and
take her to my home to live with me and my family for the rest of her life.
Please allow her to become my beautiful daughter. We will love her. We will care
for her. We will be her forever family.
