There are beautiful people in the world but sometimes we forget. I'm not talking about superficial, drop dead gorgeous kind of beautiful people. But rather, people with beautiful hearts and souls.
A couple of months ago, there was this little girl in HOLF that captured my heart. I really hoped that we could adopt her. But we prayed about it and we felt that it was not God's calling. Sure, I felt bad. She has Thalessamia Major. Its a lifelong illness that may not have a cure. Please do not get it wrong that just because she's sick that we feel that she's not good enough for us. But rather it's the opposite. We felt that we may not be financially able enough to provide for her. We prayed that a family that has a little more will come forward.
True enough, prayers were answered. A couple is in the processing of adopting her. The lady works part time from home and her husband's company's health insurance will help take care of all the health bills. They have enough researched for stem cell transplant for her. I met them and am in awe of the fact that they have thought it through and they are willing to go through and invest in the child. Thank God for them! A really beautiful couple and I pray that things will work out for little Lok Yee. She deserves a nice family who will love her for everything.
As for us, we will continue to pray for God's guidance in terms of adoption. We've told the welfare department to match us only in January as Babe will be really busy for the next couple of months. He's back but he's probably leaving in a week or a couple of days. So...we shall see and leave everything in God's hands!
