On Tuesday January the 10, we put on a VBS at Pastor Roberts church. There I met a beautiful little girl in a pink dress with white poka dots. Later that day we went to the Homes of Hope orphanage and she was there. I had the interperter tell he she was a beautiful little girl than tears started rolling down her cheeks. Then she hugged and kissed my neck, it was she was saying don`t leave me. At that momment God put it into my heart to adopt the little girl. I was told she had only been there for about a month. Her mother had been killed in a car accident. I asked if she was adoptable and someone said they assumed so , I asked how do you go about it, were do you start? But no one knew. I talked to my friend Eddie about wanting to adopt her and her said he would like to adopt the other girl there with her. Soon we had to leave the home, and continue on with the ministry. I talked to Eddie several times about wanting to go back to the home and see the girls again. But we never got the chance. When we were leaving to go to the airport I felt like I was missing something. When we landed in Atlanta I told Eddie I was serious about wanting to adopt the little girl but I didn`t know how to tell my wife. Just before I left to go to Honguras my wife and I were talking about how it was OUR time now that our youngest had just graduated college we would be able to do things for ourselves.I called my wife, Malinda, and told her about the little girl and how I felt and she said…..BRING HER HOME!!! Tuesday morning I went to work and after I got off I called my mother and told her about the little girl and she said she was about to cry.
When I got home I emailed Open Eyes ministries asking for the little girls name and if they knew how to go about adopting. I called Eddie and asked if he remembered her name. He couldn`t remember either.
Wednesday I got he email address of one of our interperters but she didn`t remember. Thursday I sent her another email and thought the girl I was talking about was Dilcia. One of the Pastors from our church also thought the girls name was Dilcia.
