UPDATE Dec 2011: “Bethany has just passed the course of treatment and the doctor-orthopedist has told that there are wonderful forecasts for Bethany’s walking independently. There is no need for any surgery for Bethany to start walking soon without any help. She needs to get orthopedic footwear and to do exercises routinely in this footwear 3-4 times a day. Bethany is simply gold child: obedient, kind, never whines, very strong desire to study and develop, can already long and with interest to be engaged in doing something. She has one more talent: she sings very well. Bethany will definitely be an honors’ student and pride of family.”

A lot of these kids are in bad situations. They may be left in a crib all day, not have nourishing food to eat, no love and affection. Some kids are transferred to an adult mental institution at 5 or 6 years old! It's tragic to think of a little kid in a scary place like that. Hope you check out their sweet faces and feel led to do something. In the least, you can tell people about them. Pick one or two and advocate for them, pray for them, or donate money. Or if you want to be really bold, bring one home!
I will tell you that prayer works. I picked two little boys to start praying for each day and two weeks later they had a family. Then I started praying for another little girl and a few weeks later she had a family! It's amazing what God will do when you ask!
