Full Circle for Lyla!

You are much beloved...

 

Little one!

First abandoned and sentenced to life as an orphan...

About 2 years ago...

You were blessed to be chosen to belong to a very special family!

You would have a Mama at last!

A Papa to protect you...

Siblings to adore you!

 You would be smothered with hugs and kisses...

And never be lonely again!

But alas...

You became desperately ill...

Unable to travel...

Expected to die...

Unable to go with that family who loved you :(

Your family was so heart broken!

But they had so much love to share...

They just couldn't walk away and forget!

They had to do something with the love in their hearts!

There were so many children abandoned and lonely...

Who were longing for that wonderful love!

So 2 lovely children were adopted in turn...

And were showered with love overflowing...

Because of their love for you!

But miracle of miracles!

You survived!

And now dear sweet Lyla...

The time is almost here!

But a little while longer while funds and paperwork are gathered...

Then, then you will come HOME at last!

Your family is better than your wildest dreams!

You'll be loved and snuggled...

And cherished for ever, and ever, and ever!

You've come full circle dear little Lyla!

You were found...

Then nearly lost forever...

And now at last you've been found again...

By the family that has loved you since the first time they saw your little face...

In a picture so many months ago!

Dear Lyla,

Hopefully many people will read this little letter...

So I'll hasten to let them know!

Some very loving people have organized a fundraiser especially to pay your ransom!

There are prizes too...

An I-pad, and gift cards...

But the best prize of all is getting you home at last!

They can go right here to do their part and help your dream come true!

Your ransom must be gathered quickly...

You need to go to the doctor as soon as you possibly can...

And of course start making up for all the hugs and kisses...

You've  been without so long!

Thank you for helping Lyla's dream come true!

Who will make her smile?

Have you met this little one?

This is Lyla (Lilianna on Reece's Rainbow).

She just had her 2nd birthday...

She has big blue eyes...

But where is her smile?

She doesn't know how much she is loved!

She had family who were eagerly planning to adopt her...

They were planning to name her Lyla.

Sadly, Lyla's heart condition landed her in the hospital.

Doctors did not expect her to live...

So the family adopted another child.

Now...

Against all odds...

Lyla has recovered sufficiently to be listed for adoption again!

God must have great plans for her -- He preserved her life for a reason!

Who will get to watch those plans unfold?

Who will put a smile on sweet Lyla's face?

Who will step out and bring her home so she can get the love and medical care she needs...

So she can grow and thrive and smile and laugh?

Could you be her Mama?

Or could you share her story to help her Mama find her?

Dear Sarah at Mathew 18:14 blogs for many orphans...

But she has given Lyla a special spot on her blog...

She's putting her picture at the bottom of EVERY post till she gets a family!

I got these pictures from her post about Lyla here.

In honor of Lyla's birthday Sarah is doing a blog link-up to help her family find her...

Won't you join the link up and help spread the word about Lyla?

By the way...

Sarah and her friend Rachel have a blog where they sell lovely crocheted items to raise money for orphans...

Check it out here -- maybe you can find some Christmas gifts and help orphans at the same time!

Please Pray for Lyla!

This post is part of TWO link-ups!
