Help this family be a miracle for a boy!

Oh this family is stepping out on faith. Can we come along side them and help? They committed to adopt a boy that ages out in FOUR WEEKS! Please read their message and help out with their fundraiser. God gave them the heart, let us be the feet to make this happen.

Below is an email our friends at IAAP sent out:

A Family Needs Our Help!

Many of you have seen that we have been advocating for the adoption of Zhang LuShi, a boy that will be 14 years old on December 12 and subsequently will age out and no longer be able to be adopted. Well, a miracle has happened and last week a family, the Kambergers, made the commitment to adopt him and the CCAA gave them pre-approval. They have until December 12 to adopt him (just four weeks away) and the CCAA has said they will do everything necessary on their end to make this happen.

Now we need another miracle! The Kamberger's were already going to adopt another child so now they have the expenses for two children and they must raise the money fast. Please read about them below and do what you can to help them and Lushi!

This boys life will be changed forever and you can help make this happen. Please read below and see how you can be a part of the miracle!

Thank you all,

Dick and Cheryl Graham

Two weeks ago, on October 30, Dick and Cheryl Graham with Bringing Hope to Children advocated for a boy rapidly approaching his 14th birthday. We have been in process to adopt Christina DuJie since August and had just recently sent in our I800A after an extended wait for our Home Study. I don't usually open these emails, but was moved to see what the situation was. The moving has not stopped.

We are now PreApproved to adopt Zhang LuShi in addition to DuJie and are trying desperately to give this child a home. His 14th birthday is December 12th .... just 4 short weeks away!! China is willing to do whatever it takes to get this child a family. Our agency, CAWLI, is doing everything THEY can to expedite this process. And we see days flying by with little to no time to raise the money needed to bring these children home or give USCIS the time to process our case.

I am asking for TWO things from this fantastic adoptive community:

First - PRAY for God's will to be accomplished - if He is pleased to place LuShi in our home, then He can pave the way through this seemingly IMPOSSIBLE short time period to do so. Pray for USCIS to be moved by compassion or whatever it takes to truly push this file through. China is willing to have everything else in fax only and even to let us travel without TA in hand.

Second - help us is ANY way feasible and within your power to get to China and give this boy a chance. There is a chipin on www.afamilyforchristina.blogspot.com and a purse fundraiser (done by the lovely Kelly R!) at www.hopeandhealingfororphans.blogspot.com . We could use frequent fly miles to help get us there and back or help with our stay at the hotel. Spread the word to any groups you belong to!

LuShi is from Linfen, Shanxi and has urinary incontinence and was diagnosed to have a tethered cord 2 years ago (tho he has no history of spina bifada). He has only been allowed to go to school the last few years after LWB stepped in to support the cost of adult incontinence pads. There is no surgeon in China that feels skilled enough to do his surgery. He is nearly 14 and I am sure growing like any other 13 year old boy!! That cord could snap at any time, leaving him in a worse place than he is already in.

John and I are willing to do whatever the Lord desires regarding LuShi - we want to give him the opportunity for family, support, love, expert medical care and the chance to be told there is a God who loves him very much. Could you or your coworkers be looking for a great compassionate giving idea for the Christmas season? What a gift this would be for LuShi who has been overlooked for far too long. And what a story to tell him in future days of the support and love of a huge adoption community who KNOW what a true miracle this would be!!

In His strength and mercy alone,
Mary
