sweet little Monroe

this sweet, precious little guy is monroe. he is just five years old and has cerebral palsy. he needs a family to call his own sooooo badly. precious little monroe is just months shy of being sent to a mental facility where he will live, cramped in a crib in the dark for the rest of his life. in the dark, people. alone. just for one second imagine that. imagine his cries. the tears when nobody ever comes. ever. he will be forgotten about. what if that were you? or your children? what if they lay there never to be consoled again. to cry but never have someone say, "it's okay, sweetie, i'm here. you're okay".
and here's the suprise. monroe already has $20,000 in his grant account. he is set and ready. that's right - his adoption has been fully funded.
all he is waiting for is someone to say yes. that they care enough to bring their son out of that situation and give him love and protection. to say, i'm not letting this happen to him. he's ours and i'm going to bring him home.
what are you waiting for?
pray for this little guy. pray that whoever God has as his family would see this and know. that they wouldn't run from it. pray for this sweet little fellow, that he would feel his Father's arms around him right now and know that he is loved.
