To Africa With Love Update 3

Well... I heard back from the lady in charge with adopting little Caleb. Unfortunately they don't do international adoptions. Which I was prepared to hear... It still broke my heart. But there is a silver lining! I am still going to send the medi center that is helping him some diapers that P(my son) out grew before we could use them and also some clothes and blankets. It's not much but it's what I can do. I will continue to pray for Caleb; the little boy that stole my heart without even meeting him. I give thanks to God for opening my heart to Caleb and his fight. In doing so I believe he started a fire that has the potential to become a fire storm in me to help all abused, neglected, unwanted and unloved children. My grandma said this to me "even the smallest steps may have the biggest impact, you never know where the little steps will lead you." What a wise and wonderful woman she is. How do you change the world? A Random Kindness. Now I just need to begin my search and inquiry into the field of child abuse and how I can help.

I heard back from the hospital that is taking care of Caleb. He is stable but is still very ill. He is currently in the Pediatric ICU. While I'm happy that he is stable I am still worried that he is ill. I havet to ask myself if this is normal to feel so attached to a baby that I haven't met, but love is love. There are no parameters that can define or contain love. I wish so bad that I could hold the little guy! I am sure that he is getting a lot of attention.

In addition to hearing from the hosptial they gave me another person to get into contact with to figure out how we can help Caleb. I sent the e-mail today I hope I don't have to wait too long to hear back from her. The burning in my heart is still there and the tears are still brimming in my eyes. I want to help him so bad. I am well on my way to doing just that. I just have to keep praying and doing God's will. I know that with God and Faith all things are possible.

Today I sent an email to the hospital in Africa that is taking care of Caleb Hope. I asked if there was anything we could do to help this precious little life. I am desperately praying that there is something my family and I can do. Even if it's sending diapers or little care packages. I want to be there for this little guy! I feel like this is something God is calling me to do. I have took a small step today in attempting to help. If the email doesn't work I may just have to send a care package anyways. My son has outgrown his baby clothes and I still have newborn diapers. With God all things are possible, Amen. I have this burning in my heart to help Caleb. I talked to my husband last night, he was a bit distracted. But I know that the story touched his heart. We will see what the next couple days brings us.
