Please, please take the time to read about the orphanage where our sweet baby is living or will be living in the next few months.
Pray for these children, and that we will know the best way to help their orphanage shine with some kind of hope.
The Mother Teresa orphanage takes children who are brought to them without hesitation or condition. Oh, that I could love that way...
My heart aches for each and every one of these precious hearts and souls, who don't KNOW they are loved, who don't experience the blessings of this life like we do. And, who desperately need families to bring them into their blessed, loving home and give them LIFE.
Please read. Please pray.

Chels, I CANNOT stop thinking about this...all those sweet babies that are just craving touch. As I hold Eli and see his face light up when our eyes meet...it breaks my heart that there are so many who don't have the same bond to their parents. I literally want to hop on the next plane there and never leave.
You know I'm praying for YOUR baby but this reminded me just how much I need to be praying for all of the sweet babies there. Thanks for sharing this story.
(AND the whole time I kept thinking...hmmm, corporate lawyer moves to Africa....hmmmm... ;)
Wow. I can't help but think of my two little ones who love to be loved so much. I cannot begin to imagine children JUST LIKE THEM spending their first few years with no one "that belongs to them." This is hard to read, but I'm so glad that you posted about it. We'll be praying for your baby and for all of the babies that are served there.
God is moving.
Oh Chelsea. I read this first thing this morning, have been back several times today to comment, and still cannot think of the right words. My heart is heavy. I wish I could do something to help. I have always had a heart for an international adoption, but my husband and I don't see eye to eye on that issue. (Probably something we should have discussed before marriage.) For now I take comfort in the fact that one of these babies will soon be joining our family, and will be loved and blessed beyond measure. I also take comfort in the work you and Mark are doing with His Chase, and as I have said before, I am excited to help and get involved any way I can. God bless you Chelsea.
Love,
Becky
Chelsea, seriously?! I'm a mess. I am praying for the Lord to protect your sweet one and to expedite the process as much as possible.
Good grief, what a story. I don't know that I have it in me to handle the burden of the pain of these babies. Bless you for saying "yes" to the Lord when he called your family.
Love you!
Praying hard, friend. There simply aren't words.
