Orphan alert

I heard about these precious children from The Shepherd's Crook. If interested please contact TSC

Karin

BOYD
We want to let you know about a little boy in China whose time is running out. The agency is calling him Boyd. He is eight years old and is said to be deaf, though the full extent of his hearing impairment is uncertain. (It is probable that his hearing impairment is profound, if not complete, because he is still non-verbal; however, as we recommend with all adopted children, it would be advisable to have him thoroughly tested once home.) There was a family pursuing Boyd's adoption, but they have decided that they are unable to continue with it. The agency is hoping to find another family very soon so that Boyd's paperwork doesn't have to be returned. If you might be interested in pursuing Boyd's adoption or would like more information, especially if you are paper-ready, please click here (or write to boyd-info@theshepherdscrook.org).

CALEB
This adorable and brilliant little seven year old speaks only of being adopted by a family in the United States. He is an active, extroverted child who prides himself on the fact that he understands English and that he is a faster learner than his best friend Steven, who is also learning English. When asked which holiday was his favorite, he quickly responded, "Christmas!"

This detailed, active, and loving little boy is missing his left hand but functions perfectly in his present environment. A number of families have expressed interest in Caleb but none has followed through, and we are concerned that his time is running out. If you might be interested or would like more information, click here (or write to caleb-info@theshepherdscrook.org).

SIBLINGS
We have learned of a sibling group of four, all girls, in Colombia. We are praying fervently that a family will come forward to pursue their adoption so that they will not have to be split up. The eldest girl will be twelve in March; the second one just turned eight in January; the third one will be eight in November; and the youngest one will be five in October. They are healthy girls. If you might be interested or would like more information, click here (or write to sibling-girls@theshepherdscrook.org).

Please join us in praying for all of these children and their urgent needs, and we beseech you to search your hearts and pray about whether or not God might be calling you to be a family for any of these children.
