Urgent Prayer Request



Please pray for a sweet little girl named Maia. Maia was born with spina bifida and has hydrocephalus as a result. This week she had a severe seizure and has been in the hospital since then. Friday morning she had brain surgery to place tubes to clear infection from her brain. She is one sick little girl. Please pray for the Mighty Physician to heal her and keep her safe in the palm of her hand. Also, please pray for her parents and her brother, Matthew, during this difficult time. You may check for updates on her family's blog at http://findingbabyhansen.blogspot.com.

I had the extreme privilege of meeting Maia's parents, Mark and Melanie Hansen, in Kiev the night before our SDA appointment when we received Elijah's referral. And as the Lord worked it out, we were able to meet up in Kiev at the end of our adoption processes too, so I got to meet Maia!  And...the Hansens went back to adopt Matthew about the same time we were in country adopting Jonathan. Fun, huh? :-) So, as you can imagine, the Hansens have a very special place in my heart. I humbly ask you to please PRAY for them all!

Oh Praying!!! I remember this sweet family at the end of the adoption in Kiev, at supper the second to the last night, and at the Embassy! Praying for healing and comfort and FAITH IN GOD the most at this time!
