The Clock is Ticking!

Laurel...

While Laurel has had less than ideal circumstances in her life...

(She was born with arthrogryposis...

A condition that makes some of her joints stiff...)

And NOTHING can compare to the blessing of having a loving family of her own...

She has been blessed more than many special needs orphans!

Despite the fact that she is already 15 years old...

She does NOT live in a mental institute...

YET.

She and her orphan companions live in a facility for older children with physical disabilities...

But her orphanage has received aid from various humanitarian groups!

Instead of being completely confined in the orphanage...

Children have had opportunity to go on trips!

Sadly, Laurel's comparatively good life...

Is about to end.

Laurel will turn 16 in less than six months...

This is NOT a birthday to look forward to!

At 16 Laurel will be too old for adoption...

And she will have to go to an adult mental institution because of her PHYSICAL disabilities!

And she will have to live there...

For the REST of her life!

A LIFE sentence...

At 16 years old!

The time when she should be excited about growing up...

Working on high school...

Looking forward to college...

To getting a job...

To the possibility of being a mother someday.

Instead...

A life of nothingness...

A bleak, bleak future indeed.

It does NOT have to be this way!

There IS hope!

If her family finds her SOON...

She can be adopted...

And have a life of love and opportunity!

But their is no time to lose!

The clock is ticking...

Time is passing by...

Perhaps you could become her Mom or Dad!

If not...

You can still help by praying for Laurel and sharing her story!

The more people see her face...

The more people share...

The better the chance that one of them will be her Mom or Dad!
