Olga Still Needs A Home

I've know for a day or two but was waiting for the high sign, to post. It is official ,Olga's family had to withdraw their commitment. They are a beautiful family and circumstances beyond their control led to this decision. Please do not judge these people.

This is my take on the situation. God uses everyone for good. All of His ways are good. It was not a mistake that this family came forward. They were guided by God. And they did what they were called to do, and I thank them.
Were they a stepping stone, a needed delay? Maybe.

I can't help but compare Olga to Lera. Sweet Lera ,who owns a piece of my heart. We all rallied for her last year, remember? And we rejoiced when a family came forward, and we cried when it didn't happen for them. But finally, a family did come forward and they are still committed to bringing Lera home. Not to get off the subject but this family is amazing and could still use all our support. They are now trying to bring home another little girl along with Lera. Please if you are not following their journey start today.


Now back to Miss Olga, I am confident that her family will find her. But we really need to act. Prayer is 100% necessary, but getting the word out about Olga is just as necessary. Only one person needs to answer, but they need to hear us in order to answer.

I put fliers in our church bulletins explaining about Olga and what happens in EE countries. Could you think about doing that at your church? I have it saved, if anyone wants it I'll email it to you.
Just tweak it to fit your community.

Another idea is to put the flier in libraries or stores at the register. Most owners are open to that. Grocery stores usually have a community bulletin board.

How about asking your school principal if you can send a flier home with each child. We have a Friday folder at our school that all the info comes home in. If we all did that we could seriously reach thousands of parents.

I feel like we need to get off the beaten path of our safe blogs. We are preaching to the choir here. We need to reach people who haven't heard. Of course I do believe that blogging and FB are huge and necessary tools to get the word out. Where else can you reach people all over the world with a click of a button. I'm just saying that maybe Olga's parents are not a FB friend or don't read our blogs. We have to adapt the, No Stone Left Unturned, attitude. Maybe a little old fashioned footwork is needed. Talking face to face with other people. Things like that.

Please I'm pleading that we all rally to get this child home! The thought of her tied to a bed is overwhelming. What would she be thinking? I look at that pretty dress she has on in the picture and I know that would be gone, replaced by some rag. I don't want her to loose that sparkle she has. I don't care what these children's mental ability is, when they are transferred they know. They know it's not good, they can sense and feel the lack of hope, the lack of a gentle touch, the lack of everything!

There are enough of us who know the truth about what happens to these kids. And knowing this should make you mad, I know it makes me madder than hell to think what is "acceptable" in other countries. And getting mad is a good thing, it makes people productive. People who are mad about things , want to change things. they are compelled to ACT! We need to act for Olga and every other Sweetheart on RR.

You know what I dream about. I dream and pray that one day Andrea will have to say...there is now a waiting list to adopt!
