Israel's Mommy, my friend Jill, says: "We had been on the adoption waiting list for about a month when we got a call one day while we were eating lunch last August. It was a lady from one of our adoption agencies, and she said, "A baby boy was born a few hours ago, and we need you to get on a plane as soon as possible and come to Utah to get him." Thus began a whirlwind day of booking a flight, barely making it, barely making the connecting flight, and landing in Utah just a few hours later. The next morning, we were able to go to the hospital to see our son for the first time. He was born about 4 weeks premature and had to spend a little over a week in the NICU, but he was so perfect! We were able to meet his very sweet birthmom while she was still in the hospital, and we decided on the middle name "Ri" because it is part of her name (Sharielle).
We were so thankful to be blessed with a son after we had just adopted our daughter 9 months earlier. Israel is an incredibly sweet and happy baby, and he does everything he can to keep up with his sister Ivy! We will be forever thankful that Israel's birthmom chose life for him instead of taking the seemingly easier way out and choosing abortion. For more of Israel's adoption story, you can click HERE."

I am pleading that you pray with me for the Lord to end abortion. He loves the babies. He loves the mothers. He loves the fathers. He loves the doctors. He loves those who have already made the choice and are now living each day with the after-effects of that decision. He's waiting with open arms...run to Him!
Proverbs 31:8 "Speak up for those who have no voice, for the justice of all who are dispossessed."
