Vacant

Their eyes say so much ... there's a vacancy. I can't explain it. It makes me sad. The sadness transfers to me and I want to know "why?" Why the vacancy my child? Who stole the life that should fill you up? Adam and I's hearts are EXTREMELY heavy tonight. The reality that our children probably face more and endure more than we want to know about, is great. I feel helpless. What do we do. I want to get on a plane. I want to go and rescue so many innocent little ones. I need my children home! They need to be home. They need their innocence protected. I pray for STRONG PROTECTION over our children and the many others. I pray to our God who is mighty and powerful and loving and just. This picture was taken within the last week. Our Anita no longer has the beautiful smile we left her with. She has the vacant eyes we saw so many months ago, in so many pictures. "Please God, provide us with I600 approval this week and Visa's to follow. Please give us calmness and understanding. Take the heaviness off our hearts. Give us the knowledge you want us to have."
