God story to Grace part 1 · June 20, 2008

I joined the yahoo group for her orphanage and was told to search for her name.  It pulled up an email by a lady named Jill (this name will be important in a minute).  It spoke of a mission trip last August to this special orphanage which is for Special needs children and is mainly CHRISTIANS--IN CHINA!  I just emailed this organizations site to a friend about 2 weeks ago and NONE of this had come to pass yet!!   Jill spoke about this sweet little girl Fu Shuang Shuang (also called Vira by the westerners there....pronounced veera).  I emailed her, she emailed me back with her phone number.  I spoke with her for an hour on Monday.  She had spent 10 days with our daughter!  She said she was just too sweet and loveable!  She told me that she and her friend had been praying that this girl would find a Christian family.  They have more pics for me and the friend wants to write me a letter about Grace and her prayers for her this past year.  Also Grace is not at the original orphanage we thought, she was transferred to this special orphanage!

Also the day before I spoke with Jill, I emailed a friend that travelled the same trip we did.  Their daughter was from this orphanage.  She directed me to more pics of our daughter on another site. She is so happy and joyful.   

There's even more.

Jill had a dream before her mission trip.  God showed her a vision of her son and not the one they had already adopted.  When she got to the orphanage, she saw him.  She knew it was him.  However his file had not been submitted to be listed for adoption.  After her trip, she advocated and they got him listed.  She's been looking for his file since.  Right after speaking with her, I was led to go back and look at the list that Grace was on.  #4 matched the description (date of birth, male, and his special need) of the child she was looking for!  I immediately called her back and told her what I'd found.  She raced home and called the agency (not her's, but our new one).  This agency knew this family was looking for him and had tried to contact them, but they were on vacation.  The agency had locked the file, but could only keep it locked for 48 hours.  So on Sunday night, they had to release it.  Jill contacted her agency and found out that his file had been locked by yet another agency.  Her agency searched and searched and at 2 am this morning she was contacted and told that his file was now locked FOR THEM!!!   They are locked in for their son!!!! 

We serve such an AWESOME and AMAZING  God!!
