We are in need of some prayer in the area of adoptions. We have 61 kids and 4 more who will be here by the end of November. We are set up to only have 60 kids and right now, we do not have the funds to open up another baby house so our houses are crowded. This is a huge problem as we want to give the best care to our children and we do not want to over work or over burden our staff. We are to the point of needing to turn away any new referrals for kids, yet we know that Beautiful Gate is the best place for babies and young children in Lesotho who are orphaned or abandoned. We need prayer to know what to do next, and we need extra prayer warriors who can pray for all our pending adoptions.
Currently, we have 23 children who are placed for adoption and a few of them have been placed for about a year now. There are a few new appointed members of government who have really slowed the process of adoption down. Some for good reasons like tightening down on child trafficking, but others for what appears to be power and control more than the benefit of the children. Please pray with me that these adoptions can speed through quickly as then we will not be in our overcrowded situation, the children and families who have been waiting can begin their new life with their forever families, and we will have room to continue taking in new babies and toddlers who need the love, hope and care of Beautiful Gate.
Thank you for your prayers because God is just waiting for us all to ask and we know that He will make it happen!

Having those adoptions go through would definitely be the answer to your space issue! I will pray that those 23 kids can go home very soon! Jana Z.
ReplyDeleteWe will keep you and your family and that new adoptive families will come very soon in our prayers. Beautiful Gate is such a blessing for those kids and I know it would be hard to turn them away.
ReplyDeleteP.S See I really do read your blog :-)
Definitely will be praying! The Lord's timing is perfect :)
