I am horrified...

If you have not read the book "The road of Lost Innocence" by Somaly Mam...please check it out here, at Somaly's site. I think everyone should read this eye opening story of the horrors that are occuring in the country of Cambodia. They are happening right now, as I type this. Little girls, as young as 5 being enslaved, raped, used, and abused in brothels. It is sickening, profoundly sad, and profoundly horrific. Every night when I put this book down, and fell asleep, I had dreams of this, I could not turn it off. I just checked and World Vision is working there, and I will be inquiring about sponsoring a little girl from Cambodia. It is the first thing I can do. I will also be reading Somaly's site, and finding other ways I can help to do my part to end the suffering of these girls. Please, please, get this book. You will never be the same, and you will be able to also step in and help to end child trafficking and sex slavery of innocent, precious children.
{Thanks, Jennifer, for loaning me this book. I will be getting a few copies to hand out to others, as I believe everyone needs to hear this story}.

My first miracle born in 2001. After giving birth to her, I realized that being a mother was the best job out there, and children are a miracle and precious gift from God. She is a true country girl at heart. Horses are her passion. She is an amazing big sister to her 5 little siblings!

Adopted from China in 2007. Her sweet spirit fills our home with beauty and love. She is our little dancer, and introduced me to the world of recitals, dance practices, tutu's and ballet! Most of all, her love for Jesus shines bright, and even at her young age, she has a passion for orphan care and missions. These are subjects she talks and prays about on a daily basis! Can't wait to see where the Lord takes this girl!

Adopted from U.S. foster care, July 2013. God's surprises never cease to amaze me. He is Laney's full sibling who came to live with us in Nov. 2011. Our son since the day he arrived. This is the sweetest boy you will ever meet.

Adopted from U.S. foster care November 2011. Words cannot describe the joy this precious pumpkin brings to our lives! Another sweet miracle fromt the Lord. She was our first foster baby, arriving at the age of 7 weeks. We were blessed to adopt her in November of 2011. She refers to herself as a princess, and is also a lover of kittens, books, and dancing. I guess many more dance practices and recitals are in our future, lol!

Adopted from U.S. foster care, July 2013. She was our second foster child who came home from the hospital at one week old. She livens up our days with her endless energy and strong will! It has been such a joy to see her and Austin have the chance to be together as brother and sister, and they definately have a bond that makes my heart smile!

Adopted from U.S. foster care July 2013. What a surprise it was to see that the little boy I pictured in my mind, who only the Lord would know, was actually in need of a forever family! Another miraculous gift from the Lord. He arrived at 4 mos. of age in Oct. 2011. Cute as can be with a contagious laugh and smile.
