Notice her special day!!!!

Look at this little girl...

Do you recognize her?

It's an older picture of my Victoria...

The first picture I saw of her.

This precious little girl was in bed then...

And she was still in bed when this more recent picture was taken...

Waiting for a Mama and Papa to love and cherish her...

To bring her home and give her the opportunity to thrive...

The opportunity to go to school...

To receive medical treatment to straighten her legs...

So she can learn to walk...

Victoria's special day of the year is just around the corner...

Her BIRTHDAY is on Monday, December 12...

She will be NINE years old...

Nine years is too long to wait for a Mama!

Instead of hugs and kisses...

Gifts and cake and friends...

Her day will go unnoticed...

She will likely not even know it is her birthday...

This birthday will be spent in bed...

Just like every other day...

SAD

Please notice her day!

Though you can't hug her now and tell her how special she is...

There's something you can do!!!

If you are able...

Would you consider even a small birthday gift donation to her grant fund...

(No gift is too small!)

To help with the expenses of the best gift...

The gift of a Mama and Papa and love?

Your gift helps defray the costs of adoption...

If a child has a large grant it helps give prospective families courage to step out and commit to a child...

(I want to thank those who have donated to Victoria's fund recently!

Last time I looked she had $10 in her fund -- today she has $55!!!!)

Consider sharing Victoria on your blog, Facebook, etc...

Maybe one of your friends or readers could be her Mama!

Will you join me in praying that this is Victoria's last birthday without a family...

That she will be HOME next year for her tenth birthday surrounded with love and family??
