This sweet little girl was adopted this week from an orphanage in Eastern Europe.
Look at those chubby cheeks, how precious is she?
Now look at this photo below.
That is also a picture of her. This is what her newly adoptive parents
found when they went to change her clothes after they had just rescued her from the
orphanage. This child is 3 years old and weighs 11 pounds.
Yes, 11 pounds.
Right now she is in a hospital in America clinging to her life. They say that her body
is in shut down mode and that it is a miracle that she is even alive.
This is child abuse no matter how you look at it.
You know, there are a lot of people who look down on families like ours
who go and rescue these precious children from EE, because they feel that
we should adopt from America. When they see pictures like this picture of
sweet little Carrington, I wonder if they still feel the same way?
I don't know of any institution or orphanage in America where it is acceptable
to neglect a child with Down syndrome just because the child has a disability.
Do you? Please pray for Carrington and the many children just like her
who are abused, neglected,starved etc. just because they
have a disability. Please pray that Carrington pulls through this
and gets to go home so that she can experience life in a family
that loves her and cherishes her because she IS so very worthy
of that love.
